Abstract

Cross-border takeover battles in banking have brought the issue of competition policy in that sector to the top of policy agendas. We first document a trend that merger reviews in industrial countries are increasingly conducted taking competition considerations into account. Second, we report empirical evidence suggesting that legislative changes strengthening competition aspects in the review of bank mergers are likely to improve the efficiency of the economy. JEL Classification: G0
