Abstract

We focus on a modified version of the markup test to investigate the impact of entry regulation on competitive conditions in the Iranian banking industry for the period 1996-2006. The

time interval under examination corresponds to an era characterized by substantial relaxation of entry barriers and private bank penetration. To estimate Lerner indexes as a measure of

bank competition, we set up a simultaneous equation model for unbalanced panel data by utilizing the stepwise maximum likelihood method. We find that concomitantly with the new

bank entries a pro-competitive change in the banking industry took place.
