For academics, regulators and policymakers alike, it is crucial to
measure financial sector competition by means of reliable,
well-established methods. However, this is easier said than done.
This comprehensive Handbook provides a collection of
state-of-the-art chapters to address this issue. Using the latest
empirical results from around the world, expert contributors offer
a thorough assessment of the quality and reliability of the
prevalent measures of competition in banking and finance. The
Handbook consists of four parts, the first of which discusses the
characteristics of various measures of financial sector
competition. The second part includes several empirical studies on
the level of, and trends in, competition across countries. The
third part deals with the spillovers of market power to other
sectors and the economy as a whole. Finally, the fourth part
considers competition in banking submarkets and subsectors. This
Handbook is an essential resource for students and researchers
interested in competition, regulation, banking and finance.
Politicians, policymakers and regulators will also benefit from the
thorough explanation of the need for anti-trust regulation and
identification of the most reliable competition measures.
