Abstract

This study investigates the effects of branch network expansion and geographical strategies on the cost efficiency of Italian cooperative banks between 2006 and 2013. Results indicate that, except for banks with a more diversified product offering, expansion has a negative impact on efficiency, which is exacerbated by increased distance between the headquarters and branches. Any positive effect due to a larger bank size is neutralized by the branch expansion. Efficient local banks and a larger credit availability boost the local economy, while a bank structural change by a branch expansion generates a negative effect in terms of local economic development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
