Abstract: This paper examines whether bank diversification strategy enhances bank market power and how foreign ownership affects this relationship. Using data from Chinese commercial banks for the period 2007–2018, we find that diversification strategy has a positive impact on bank market power and foreign ownership reinforces this effect. Results hold for bank income, non-interest income and asset diversification strategies.
