Retail banking in the aftermath of the financial crisis
This thesis considers the effects of the global financial crisis that started in 2008
on the retail banking environment and on banks’ behavior during and in the
aftermath of the crisis. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and three
empirical articles that use unique datasets on Finnish cooperative banks. The
introductory chapter provides background and an overview of the thesis and
considers the effects of the crisis on retail banking from an overall perspective.
The empirical articles investigate the roles of a competitive environment, a low
interest rate environment, and relationship banking during the crisis and in the
post-crisis period.
The first article looks at whether the effects of the financial crisis on the
volumes and prices of small-business loans depended on the pre-crisis local
competitive environment. The second article explores the relationship between
market interest rates and retail bank interest margins and its implications in the
low interest rate environment that resulted from the financial crisis. The third
article examines the association of bank relationship strength with the
performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) after the onset of
the financial crisis.
