Since the several financial crisis happened, there comes out more attention to the loan loss provisions study in the banking industry.

For doing so, it selects different variables to stand for different functions by using the GMM model. The results here show that the bank managers in UK and HK don not use the LLPs as the tool to do the capital management and the earnings management, however the procyclicality patter do exist in both UK and HK. And by the comparison, it gets out more issues related to agency theory, compensation policies and incentives mechamism of bank managers in UK and HK.
