The paper analyzes the impact of major policy changes on banking structure, performance and competition, using bank-specific data from 1990-2002. We find that the entry of more market players is correlated with drops in interest spread and profits which, partly, bespeaks of possible dissipation...

This paper investigated the changes in competitive behaviour of banks in sub-Saharan Africa, following the 2007/2008 global financial crisis. Using 481 bank-year observations from an unbalanced panel of 83 banks from six countries over the period 2008-2013. We employed the Panzar-Rosse model of...

This unique study examines the interactive role of bank competition and foreign bank entry in explaining the risk-taking of banks over the globe. We used cross-country data for the banking sector from 2000 to 2016. Using the pooled regression model and Two-stage Least Squares model (2SLS with...

This paper seeks to evaluate efficiency and competition dynamics of the Kenyan banking sector for the period 2001-2017 using bank-level data for 37 commercial banks. To achieve this, the paper uses a three-step estimation approach; first, we apply non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)...

This paper provides some interesting insight into the impact of financial freedom and inter-industry competition on commercial banking sector competition in Sri Lanka. The study used a broader set of panel data and employed Panzar-Rosse approach to estimate the degree of bank competition. The...
