The risk effects of bank acquisitions

Ben Craig and Joao Santos

Economic Review, 1997, issue Q II, 25-35

Abstract: An examination of the risk effects of bank acquisitions that occurred between the first quarter of 1984 and the last quarter of 1993. Its findings -- that banks are not using acquisitions to increase their risk exposure and that acquisitions increase profitability over time -- cast doubt on the importance of risk diversification as a motive for bank acquisitions.
