Jeffrey A. Clark

Economic Review, 1988, vol. 73, issue Sep, 16-33

Abstract: Changes in laws and regulations for the financial industry could reshape the structure of the banking industry, especially if the changes allow banks to achieve cost economies. The evidence suggests that large diversified banks have not enjoyed substantial cost advantages over smaller institutions.
