Why Do Estimates of Bank Scale Economies Differ
Year: 1990
Type: preprint
Abstract: A number of policy issues turn on whether or not large commercial banks, merely because of their size, are more efficient than small banks. Such scale economies, where average cost declines as bank output rises, would result from spreading fixed costs over a greater volume of output. Scale economies are an important policy consideration in interstate bank branching.
