Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The U.S. banking industry has experienced tremendous deregulation, beginning in the early 1980s. The major impact of this deregulation was purported to be the consolidation of the banking industry, through the elimination of efficient and financially unsound banks. However, the neo-classical economic assumption upon which this belief is based has not been tested. This paper tests this assumption by examining the causal factors involved in a bank’s being an acquiring bank in a merger and the causal factors involved in a bank’s being a target bank in a merger in a sample of over 3000 banks spanning the years 1976-1998. Using a combination of neo-institutional theory and resource dependence theory, this analysis suggests that banks facing internal and external sources of uncertainty are likely to be involved in merger, which was legitimated through regulation changes. Both types of merger have a similar causal structure, with the exception of size, such that large banks are more likely to be an acquiring bank and small banks are more likely to be a target bank.
