摘要：

In the calculation for gains from European integration in the financial services, it is assumed that banks will become equally efficient between countries with the removal of cross-border restrictions. But doubts remain. These doubts arise from the belief that banks may not necessarily perform the same function in every country. We argue that a comparison of bank efficiency across national frontiers entails an examination of the difference between countries in the institutional structure of the banking system.
