Abstract
Regional Banks in a Globalized World
In this paper, we analyze the potential role of regional banks in a globalized world. We argue that regional banks may have a competitive advantage due to greater customer loyalty and flat hierarchies. Higher costs due to small scale may be compensated by the outsourcing of activities, for example within a banking network. The example of Germany shows that regional banks can be profitable even in the presence of global competition. Hence, a crowding-out of regional banks is unlikely.
