Abstract
The goal of this study is to identify whether bank profitability, defined as interest, non-interest, and profits before taxes, in the Greek banking system is affected by business cycle conditions through the methodology of panel multiple threshold models. After defining business regimes for the Greek economy over the period 1990-2006, the empirical findings display that there exists a positive relationship between bank profitability and the business cycle and this positive cyclicality remains robust in either phase of the business cycle (except in the case for non-interest income).
