Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of bank size on the behaviour and performance of banks in Central and Eastern European countries, both before and after the recent financial crisis. To exploit this cross-country dimension, the current study measures bank size in two ways: in relation to absolute size and to market share. The analysis, which was carried out on bank-level data, employed the traditional ratio analysis of bank investment strategy, safety and profitability, supplemented by efficiency scores, estimated in data envelopment analysis models. The main research questions are whether medium-sized and small banks in CEE countries have experienced comparative advantages, and to what extent these advantages have been dependent on economic conditions.
