Substantial work has been done during the past three decades to determine the theories of trade credit. But as observed by Frank and Maksimovic (1998), though the theories apply in specific circumstances, they are unable to explain the widespread use of trade credit and the empirical patterns of...

The Rosse-Panzar revenue test for competitive conditions in banking is based on observation of the impact on bank revenue of variation in factor input prices. We identify the implications for the H-statistic of misspecification bias in the revenue equation, arising when adjustment towards market...

We experimentally examine determinants of the transferability and durability of an assurer's flagship-service reputation for competence in a multi-service context. Economic and psychology theories agree that transferability will increase when a new service and a flagship service require...

The study investigates competitive conditions in commercial banking sector of Pakistan. The study employs a measure of estimating banking competition derived from modified Panzar and Rosse Model – The PR Model. The data was obtained from annual financial statements of 22 commercial banks...

We use a new regulatory dataset to measure the intensity competition in the UK deposit-taking sector. The novelty of this study is two-fold. First, the dataset allows us to explore trends in competition intensity over an extended, 24-year period from 1989 to 2013 using data for UK-regulated...

This study provides a characterization of the Association of the South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) banking system's competition under the new environment that the implementation of the Financial Integration Framework (AFIF) implies. We focus on the largest banking markets in the region,...

This study investigates the speed at which the banking sector of Latin American countries adjust to equilibrium levels in the long run. For this purpose partial adjustment process to Panzar and Rosse H-Statistics is used. Markets adjust towards long-run equilibrium in a non-instantaneous manner....

This paper is an empirical analysis of competitiveness in the banking system of four out of the five East African Community (EAC) countries2. The results show that the degree of competition is low due to a combination of structural and socio-economic factors. By way of preview, the analysis...

The long history of sovereign debt and the associated enforcement problem have attracted researchers in many fields. In this paper, we survey empirical work by economists, historians, and political scientists. As we review the empirical literature, we emphasize parallel developments in the...

This paper empirically assesses how democratization affects real exchange rates. Specifically, in line with the democratic peace theory we argue that democratization reduces currency undervaluation, and thus, might bring misalignments in foreign exchange markets to an end. We test this...
