Nonbanking Operations of Bank Holding Companies
研究了1981-82年间美国25家最大和60家较小区域银行控股公司的非银行子公司绩效，为评估非银行业务的利弊提供实证依据。
Under current law, banking organizations are free to enter a variety of nonbanking activities. Proponents and opponents of this trend have identified a large number of potential benefits and costs, but there have been relatively few empirical studies of the nonbanking operations of banking organizations. To provide insight on this issue, economist Gary Whalen examines the performance of the nonbanking subsidiaries of the 25 largest and 60 smaller regional bank holding companies over the 1981-82 interval.
