Abstract
Evidence is scarce regarding the impact of competition on efficiency in banking, even if it represents a very relevant issue to assess the benefits of a heightened banking competition. This work investigates the relationship between competition and efficiency in banking on a sample of 12 EU countries during the period 1994- 1999. Competition is measured by the Rosse-Panzar H-Statistic, while efficiency is estimated with stochastic frontier approach. We provide support to a negative relationship between competition and efficiency in banking, which does not then corroborate the intuitive positive influence of competition on efficiency.
