    Impact of competition and concentration on bank income smoothing in Central and Eastern European countries
    (Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 2024-03-30) Shala, Albulena; Ozili, Peterson K.; Ahmeti, Skender
    Purpose: This study examines the impact of competition and concentration on bank income smoothing in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Design/methodology/approach: The two-step system GMM method was used to analyse the impact of competition and concentration on bank income smoothing in 17 CEEs from 2004 to 2015. Findings: Loan loss provisions (LLPs) are negatively related to bank competition and concentration. The authors find no evidence for income smoothing using LLPs in a high-competition or high-concentration environment. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the study is that the analysis was restricted to commercial banks. The authors did not examine investment banks or microfinance banks in this study. Also, not having access to databases does not allow them to include recent years in the study. Practical implications: CEE commercial banks will likely keep fewer provisions or engage in under-provisioning when they face intense competition, and this can expose them to credit risk, which may threaten their stability. Originality/value: This study is the first to investigate the effect of concentration and competition on income smoothing among CEE banks.

    Otra vez, reingeniería 1 2 3, otra vez
    (Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 1997-12-30) Téllez Gárate, Antonio
    Case study about an information technology company, dedicated to the assembly, sale and installation of personal computers, and the development of software and multimedia products, which over time had grown and expanded its business lines. The company implemented a reengineering process to achieve improvements in methods and systems, but the expected results were not obtained, so a specialist was hired who decided to implement new changes based on the analysis of the processes. However, the results obtained were not as expected either, since the company remained the same or worse than before: profits fell compared to previous years, costs increased, customer dissatisfaction was widespread, and new companies were entering the market. In conclusion, the reengineering applied was not working. It was then thought necessary to develop a strategy on how to survive and grow in the short, medium and long term, and to initiate a new reengineering process. The description of the processes and the different areas of the company is included.

    Intra-banking competition in Ecuador: new evidence using panel data approach
    (Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 2020-12-01) Solano, Javier; Camino Mogro, Segundo; Armijos Bravo, Grace
    Purpose: Banks are institutions that inject money in the economy and help to boost it when there are problems in some markets, especially in productive sectors. In this way, analysing the competition in this sector is an important tool for policymakers as non-competitive behaviour could affect the financial system and economy. The purpose of this paper is to measure the degree of competition in the Ecuadorian private banking sector divided by size, from 2000 to 2015, using panel data collected by the official regulator institution. Design/methodology/approach: The authors applied the model proposed by Panzar and Rosse (1987) and its H-statistic using a reduced price and revenue equation estimated by pooled ordinary least squares, fixed effects, random effects, feasible generalised fixed effects and panel correction standard errors (PCSE). Findings: The authors show that given the presence of some problems in data such as heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation, the most appropriate technique is PCSE. The authors also found robust evidence supporting that large banks compete in a monopolistic market, small and medium-sized banks operate in monopolistic competition, and Ecuadorian small, medium-sized and large banks stay in long-run equilibrium. Originality/value: This paper contributes to the actual literature of competition degree in two ways. First, different from traditional papers, we do not control by size; so, we divided the analysis by size, because in Ecuador and also in many developing countries, bank’s competition is different for each group of size because the levels of liquidity, risk and other indicators are different from one group to another. Second, we show the robustness of the results using a scaled and unscaled equation, using many controls and using five methods to contrast the competition degree.

    Luces y sombras de la política de la competencia en Italia
    (Universidad ESAN. ESAN Ediciones, 2008-12-30) Berumen, Sergio A.
    In the past the responsible authorities of the Italian government have limited their performance to react to those pressures coming from the European Commission in respect to competence matters, but only in some exceptional circumstances the different Italian governments have acted in a reactive way. In this article it is demonstrated that the Italian policies regarding competence have been erratic; sometimes the authorities have reacted in time, but in some other occasions their intervention was quite urgent and it has arrived later than it was expected. To this effect, interest is focused in analyzing the evolution of the market and in pointing out the most significative advances that have been reached in respect to their internal market liberalization.
