Historians of our financial system will record this as an age of
deregulation and bank mergers. Deregulation, a cornerstone of
President Reagan's Administration, resulted in federal and state
legislation that contributed to increased competition for financial
services and increased merger activity. During the 1981-1986
period, there were 2,139 mergers in banking and finance, accounting
for 16 percent of total merger activity.l More mergers occurred in
banking and finance than in any other industry. Because of these
bank mergers, there are vast amounts of data avail able for
scholarly research. This book presents some results of that
research which will be of interest to academics, bankers,
investors, legislators, and regulators. The book consists of ten
articles, and it is divided into three parts. Part 1: National and
Regional Bank Mergers gives a broad perspective of merger activity.
The first article by Peter S. Rose compared the growth of bank
holding companies that merged with those that did not merge. One
conclusion of his study was that banks planning mergers tended to
be aggressively managed and were often beset by problems, such as
low profitability or declining loan quality. Mergers were one
solution to their problems. But he found no solid evidence that
mergers resulted in greater profitability or reduced risk. He also
observed that acquiring banks did not seem to grow faster than
those choosing not to merge."
