The determinants of lending interest rates of Jordanian listed commercial banks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the determinants of lending interest rates of 13 Jordanian commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the period 2011-2018. The factors include liquidity, profitability (ROA), bank size, operating cost ratio, deposit interest rate and inflation rate. The fixed effects model was performed as suggested by Hausman test. The results of the fixed effects model show that ROA and bank size had negative significant impacts on lending interest rates. Liquidity had a negative insignificant impact. The results also show that deposit interest rate and inflation had a positive significant impact on lending interest rate of Jordanian commercial banks. Operating cost ratio also had a positive insignificant impact. Thus, the results indicate that ROA, bank size, deposit interest rate and inflation were good determinants of the lending interest rates of Jordanian listed commercial banks. The study suggests that banks should use profitability and the size of the bank as tools to reduce the lending interest rate, as it is one of the factors that can cause a further decrease in the lending interest rates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
