Abstract
 This paper investigates whether there is an asymmetric accounting behavior of loan loss provisioning (LLP) in reaction to changes in non-performing loans (NPL). From the analyses, I find that( 1) there are no consistent relations between LLP and decrease in NPL although there is a positive relation between LLP and increase in NPL and( 2) there is a stronger asymmetric relation in specific loan loss provisioning( SLLP) than general loan loss provisioning( GLLP)
