Jacob A. Bikker, Emeritus Professor, School of Economics, University of Utrecht and Visiting Scholar, Economic Policy and Research Division, De Nederlandsche Bank, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

This book presents the results of several years of research on competition, concentration, efficiency and performance in the European banking market. The author seeks to explain and interrelate the numerous characteristics of the banking industry, and provide a detailed comparative analysis of various banking sectors throughout Europe.

‘I think this is a very fine piece of work, featuring high quality material, which will be accessible to technical and non-technical economists alike. It is likely to become the standard work in the field and will act as a benchmark for future comparative analyses of EU banking sectors. The advanced treatment of many of the key aspects of applied econometrics of banking, combined with excellent timely data, will ensure a broad appeal amongst academics, banking analysts, and policymakers in bank-regulatory bodies, competition authorities and central banks.’
