The goal of this paper is to characterize the nature of competition in the Belgian banking sector between 2002 and 2008.

We follow Matthews, Murinde et Zhao (2007) who published a comparable study for the British banks, by using a panel of 12 banks over the 2002-2008 time period. In comparison to past studies, the most recent one covering the time period from 1997 to 2003 (Casu and Giardone, 2006), we observe... Mehr ...
