“…Moreover, SCBs can set low service fees to get more funding to earn pro…t through the interest rate spread. My results contrast with those of Bichsel (2006), who …nds that state-owned banks in Switzerland have the same pro…t objective as private banks. Comparing bank behaviors between 1994 and 2001, Table 6 indicates that SCBs, with the exception of the BOC, set service fees at levels closer to elastic portion of the demand.…”

Assim, é de grande interesse a realização de novas análises que possam contribuir para o entendimento da dinâmica competitiva dos bancos públicos e privados.…”

“…The evidence on what objective public banks actually follow is mixed. Bichsel and Spielmann (2004) do not find that public banks in Switzerland1 set lower rates than private ones, suggesting that they maximize profits just as their private competitors. In contrast, Sapienza (2002) finds that public banks set lower rates than private banks in Italy, though she cannot clearly determine the motive for this behavior.…”
