Abstract: Abstract After analysing in the previous chapter the (contemporaneous and lagged) impact of IT investments on performance in the short-to-medium term, we now proceed to an examination of its effects in the medium-to-long term. More precisely, after confirming the existence of the profitability paradox in the European banking industry in respect of the short term, the next step is to evaluate the impact of technology investments on performance over the medium-to-long term or, in other words, to proceed to measure the so-called “technical change”.
