This paper considers the aggregate performance of the banking industry, applying a modified and extended Bennet (1920) dynamic decomposition of bank return on equity as an illustration. The aggregate performance of any industry depends on the underlying microeconomic dynamics within that...

The aggregate performance of the banking industry depends on the underlying micro-level dynamics within that industry - adjustments within banks, reallocations between banks, entries of new banks, and exits of existing banks. This paper develops a generalized Bennet (1920) dynamic decomposition...

While the existing literature acknowledges the effect of banking structure on industrial growth as well as the effect of financial development on industrial growth and its volatility, we examine whether banking structure, given bank (financial) development, exerts any nontrivial effect on...

This paper investigates whether volatility of financial development plays a role in determining industrial growth volatility. Three key findings emerge. First, overwhelming evidence supports the view that more volatile financial development raises the industrial volatility in sectors that rely...

This paper examines the effects of geographical deregulation on commercial bank performance across states. We reach several general conclusions. First, the process of deregulation on an intrastate basis generally improves bank profitability and performance with higher returns and reduced...

Regulatory change not seen since the Great Depression swept the U.S. banking industry beginning in the early 1980s, culminating with the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. As a result, significant consolidations occurred in the banking industry. This paper reviews the...

The aggregate performance of the banking industry depends on the underlying micro-level dynamics within that industry -- adjustments within banks, reallocations between banks, entries of new banks, and exits of existing banks. Jeon and Miller (2002a) extend Bailey, Hulten, and Campbell (1992)...
