Australian Economic Papers, 1998, vol. 37, issue 1, 71-87

Abstract: This paper examines economies of scale in Australian banks. A bank multi‐product cost function is estimated using a translog functional form with data drawn from twelve banks spanning the period 1978 to 1990. Different formulations of the model are estimated. Results prove sensitive to estimation assumptions and data definitions however they support the presence of economies of scale for Australian banking in this period
