Abstract—The first objective of this study is to determine
whether the discretionary behavior is built by diversification or
concentrated productive asset financing. Discretionary
behavior reflects the value of additional losses to form
Allowance for Loan Losses or ALL based on several
management motivations. The formation of ALL aims to
maintain the quality of productive assets and the health of
banks. Discretionary behavior is estimated from the difference
between the total ALL and the non-discretionary component
presented through a portfolio of economic impairment.
Specifically, the concentration of banking asset financing in this
study is classified based on the type of loan. This study examines
the effect of the concentration of asset financing on loan
distribution toward discretionary behavior. This research was
conducted in several commercial banks in Indonesia.
Index Terms—Discretionary behavior, allowance for loan
losses, productive assets.
