Effects of deregulation on the productivity of Korean banks
Article Abstract:
The Korean government's decision to deregulate its financial system during the 1980s proved to be beneficial to its banking industry. The deregulation of Korea's financial system as well as the removal of some of its financial regulations has dramatically improved the banking industry's ability to utilize its resources. Substantial changes in productivity as a result of changing the combination of outputs and inputs are seen as a consequence of Korean banks' response to privatization and deregulation.
