The bank merge

NA = not available. In this paper we propose an explanatory framework that challenges the maintained hypotheses that global mergers are efficiency-driven and that the U.S. case could become the paradigm for all other nations’ banking systems. The first hypothesis is questionable because the literature finds little empirical evidence of links between mergers and financial firms’ performance, measured in terms of either profitability or operating efficiency (Berger, Demsetz, and Strahan 1999; Dymski 1999; Rhoades 2000). Efficiency effects are also weak in European bank mergers (OECD 2000). In studies on cross-border mergers, the same conclusion has been reached, for example, Claessens, Demirgüç-Kunt, and Huizinga (1998) and Demirgüç-Kunt and Huizinga (1998) showed that cross-border entry by multinational banks has not increased profit rates in these markets. And the U.S. experience cannot be a global paradigm because U.S. banks’ very dominance in global financial 438 THE DEVELOPING ECONOMIES markets does not leave similar niches available for other nations’ banks; instead, other nations’ banks share a global financial terrain in which U.S. banks are dominant—an especially crucial consideration for banks in developing economies. The explanatory framework proposed here attributes bank mergers to macrostructural circumstances and banks’ strategic motives as goal-seeking firms. Macrostructure here refers to the key elements of banking firms’ environment—the pace of…
