Abstract

With a comprehensive dataset covering 148 countries over 1995–2015, this study investigates the relationship between competition and efficiency in the banking industry. Evidence shows that bank competition is detrimental to cost efficiency, which is at variance with the intuitive “quiet life” hypothesis. The bank regulatory and institutional environment in which banks operate not only influences bank efficiency, but also affects the link between competition and efficiency. Restrictive regulations on bank activities and stringent capital requirements reduce, whereas effective supervision and information sharing of credit registries increase efficiency. The adverse impact of competition on efficiency can be mitigated or even reversed by well-implemented regulations, supervision, and information sharing mechanisms.

竞争与银行市场监管对银行成本效率的影响

利用1995-2015年间覆盖148个国家的综合数据集，本研究调查了银行业竞争与效率之间的关系。有证据表明，银行竞争不利于成本效率，这与直观的“平静生活”假设不符。银行所处的监管和制度环境不仅影响银行效率，而且影响竞争与效率之间的联系。对银行活动的限制性规定和严格的资本要求减少了，而对信贷登记的有效监督和信息共享则提高了效率。竞争对效率的不利影响可以通过实施良好的法规、监督和信息共享机制来减轻甚至扭转。

期刊介绍： International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
