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.

This book presents the results of several years of research on
competition, concentration, efficiency and performance in the
European banking market. The author seeks to explain and
interrelate the numerous characteristics of the banking industry,
and provide a detailed comparative analysis of various banking
sectors throughout Europe. The book begins with a survey on
intermediation, integration and internationalisation in the
European banking market, which helps to explain the increased
competitive pressures banks are now operating under. The author
then examines indicators of concentration and competition, and
attempts to measure these using a variety of approaches in both EU
and non-EU countries. Significantly, he also presents a unique
comparison of efficiency throughout the EU by estimating
X-inefficiency and cost level differences. The book concludes with
an investigation into cyclical patterns of profits, provisions and
lending in order to assess the procyclicality of bank behaviour in
light of the new Basel Capital Accord. Academics and policymakers
interested in banking supervision, financial stability and monetary
policy will welcome this thorough analysis of competition and
efficiency in the European banking industry. The book will also
prove invaluable reading for banking analysts and strategists in
central banks, regulatory bodies and competition authorities.
