Alternative Explanations of Commercial Bank Behavior and the Structure - Conduct - Performance Hypothesis

Abstract

dc:description

The structure-conduct-performance (S-C-P) hypothesis stresses the importance of market structure in determining the price and output decisions of firms. In particular, the S-C-P hypothesis suggests that the more highly concentrated or less competitive the market, the greater the prices and profits and the smaller the output of firms in the respective markets. This hypothesis has become a cornerstone of antitrust policy in general and bank regulation in particular.
