| Abstract: | To assess the effect of EMU on market conditions for banks based in countries which adopt the Single Currency, this paper uses the H indicator suggested by Panzar and Rosse (1987). This paper's contribution is to assess results separately for large and small banks, and for interest income and total income as a dependent variable. From a panel of banks over the period 1992-1996, evidence is provided that the behaviour of large banks was not fully competitive as compared to the U.S. Regarding small banks, the level of competition appears to be even lower, especially in France and Germany. |
