Abstract

During the crisis the financial system experienced a concentration process driven by new M&A released by both big and medium banks. The article evaluates the role of banking features and regulatory framework in explaining the probability to be a target firm in a domestic or cross border M&A. Results show that bigger Italian banks are more interested to promote M&A for acquiring comparable banks while cross border M&A are promoted by banks interested to enter in new markets previously not served
