Banking Globalization: International Consolidation and Mergers in Banking

Claudia Buch and Gayle L. DeLong

No 38, IAW Discussion Papers from Institut für Angewandte Wirtschaftsforschung (IAW)

Abstract: This paper surveys recent literature on international mergers and acquisitions in banking. We focus on three main questions. First, what are the determinants of cross-border mergers of commercial banks? Second, do cross-border mergers affect the efficiency of banks? Third, what are the risk effects of international bank mergers? We begin with a brief summary of the stylized facts, and we conclude with implications for policymakers.
