Abstract

The objective of this work is to evaluate the competition in the Mexican banking sector through two approaches: market concentration and power. Concentration indices and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index are used within the concentration measures. Two tools are used in the market power approach: the Lerner index and the H-statistic. To calculate the Lerner index, a simultaneous equations model is used, which is estimated with the generalized method of moments. On the other hand, a data panel estimated in first differences and fixed effects is used for the calculation of the H-statistic. A sample of 15 banks is used for the case of the market power approach, and of 32 banks for the concentration approach; both approaches are studied within the 2000-2012 period. It can be observed that within the concentration approach there is a decrease in the concentration indices, and therefore an increase in competition. The result obtained in the power market approach for the Lerner index and H-statistic is monopolistic competition.
