Article Abstract:
Evidence shows that consolidation improves the financial performance of bank holding companies. This is particularly true for banks engaged in interstate branching, since this strategy increases the degree of macroeconomic diversification. Interstate expansion allows bank holding companies to improve their market value efficiency and production efficiency while reducing their insolvency risk. Furthermore, interstate consolidation strategies not only enhances the competitiveness of bank holding companies but also provide benefits to the community.

Article Abstract:
Empirical evidence indicates that banking institutions with higher levels of management ownership have less chances of being acquired, notably in deals in which target executives leave their jobs following the acquisition. The high rates of management turnover in the banking industry following acquisitions are consistent with the hypothesis that management teams try to foil attempts to be acquired. There is also little evidence to prove that incentive, performance or governance factors influence the probability of acquisitions involving banks.
