The Structure of Banking Systems in Developed and Transition Economies
用26个发达国家的数据估计银行体系结构的决定因素，再将这些回归结果应用于23个转型经济体，得出其银行体系的效率基准，并计算银行体系收敛指标，评估转型经济体的银行发展水平。
The paper empirically analyses the determinants of banking system structure (as measured by bank assets, number, branches and employees) for 26 developed OECD countries. The estimated regressions are then applied to 23 transition economies, to obtain benchmarks for the efficient structure of their banking systems. The actual and benchmark measures of banking structure are compared to evaluate the state of banking system development, including the computation of a measure of ‘banking system convergence’. The results are objective and replicable multidimensional measures of banking system development for the transition economies.
