Description

This comprehensive study by Gary A. Dymski examines the true drivers behind today's bank merger wave, revealing that operating efficiencies are not the primary motivator for financial consolidation. The research demonstrates that bank mergers and consolidation may produce outcomes that run counter to consumer and non-financial business interests, including reduced interest rates, escalating fees, and constrained credit availability. Part of Routledge's Issues in Money, Banking, and Finance series, this work provides critical analysis of financial sector consolidation and its ripple effects across the economy. Dymski presents evidence-based arguments and recommends new policy frameworks for evaluating prospective mergers, making this essential reading for economists, policymakers, banking professionals, and anyone concerned with the structure and regulation of modern financial systems.

Key Features

Analyses the economic causes of bank mergers rather than accepting conventional wisdom about efficiency gains.

Examines adverse social and economic consequences of financial consolidation on consumers and non-financial businesses.

Identifies specific negative outcomes including lower interest rates, increased fees, and tighter credit constraints.

Proposes new policy recommendations for evaluating and regulating prospective bank mergers.

Part of Routledge's Issues in Money, Banking, and Finance academic series on contemporary financial topics.
