The Impact of Risk Exposure and Environmental Conditions on European Banking Efficiency

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the determinants of bank cost efficiency in Europe by applying a dynamic Bayesian stochastic frontier approach. We distinguish between two conceptually and empirically separate components of efficiency: (1) an intrinsic component, driven by internal bank features such as size and risk exposure, and (2) an extrThis study

One‐Way Versus Two‐Way Postacquisition Integration Efforts: Theory and Evidence

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a theory of postacquisition integration that distinguishes between one‐way (acquirer‐only) and two‐way (mutual) effort strategies. We argue that the method of payment—cash versus shares—may serve as an ex ante commitment mechanism to a particular integration strategy, where cash deals align with unilateral effort, and share deals ...

Price Indices Rekindled, 1970s–1990s: Theory and Practice at Cross Purposes?

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper revisits the discussions on price indices during a period marked by theoretical advancements and practical challenges in measuring inflation. Index‐number theorists sought to improve accuracy, yet national statistical offices largely maintained established practices due to concerns over data availability, stability, and public trust.
