Post-entry expansion in banking: the case of Portugal
Article Abstract:
Portugal's banking industry was deregularized in 1984 after years of being subjected to administratively-fixed interest rates and strict entry barriers. The deregulation resulted in banks putting up a higher number of branches. Closer study reveals similarities in the expansion patterns of incumbent banks and a higher probability of branch expansion among entrants that were acquired from other banks.
