Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the competition in the Colombian banking sector using banklevel monthly balance sheet information. We estimate the changes in measures of market power due to the exogenous introduction of a liquidity regulation. Our results suggest that introducing a net stable funding ratio increased the Lerner index in the short term, thus signaling a higher exercise of market power. We rationalize these changes in a simple theoretical model that allows us to analyze the tightening of liquidity requirements for banks and find that a higher Lerner index implies more market power in the loan market than in the deposit market.
