Recent evidence on concentration and competition in Turkish banking sector
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper I investigate the concentration and\ncompetition in the Turkish banking sector by looking at the recent\nempirical evidence that covers the period from 2005 to 2010. I look at\nconcentration indicators for different balance sheet items including total\nassets, loans, and deposits. I find that the degree of concentration did not\nshow a big change since 2005; in fact for some balance sheet items it\ndecreased. Besides that, using Panzar and Rosse’s methodology, I look at\nthe competition in Turkish banking sector during this period. I find that\nthe Turkish banking sector is characterized by monopolistic competition\nand the degree of competition has decreased over the relevant period.
