Economies of scale and scope in French commercial banking industry

Michel Dietsch

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 1993, vol. 4, issue 1, 35-50

Abstract: This paper presents estimations of economies of scale and scope in the French banking industry. Using a translog model of bank costs, the paper demonstrates the existence of economies of scale for French banks, particularly in what concerns operating costs. Economies of scale are observed in all classes of bank size. Results also suggest that cost subadditivity exists in the French banking industry. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1993
