Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 This is an interesting and well written study of de-risking in Malta, involving interviews with banking participants and the analysis of the data obtained using factor analysis and regressions. i have the following comments:

  • In the introduction the specific contributions of this study to the literature should be emphasised, including the empirical aspects.
  • Why would the increased costs of transferring money appreciate the real exchange rate, as suggested in S3 on page 20?
  • The data obtained from the questionnaires could do with some more discussion, including a table of summary statistics.
  • In the regression analysis, have the authors used robust standard errors to remove any heteroskedasticity?
  • In the regression model, all the explanatory variables are not significant, is there an explanation for this?
  • In the regression, it would be interesting to add an age squared term to pick up any non-linear relationship. Also is it possible to include some dummy variables for the different types of financial institutions that the interviewees represent?
