Abstract
Purpose - to examine whether Japanese commerical banks exhibited economies of scale and economies of density at the time when the mega-merger wave in Japanese banking began in the late 1990's. Since this merger wave has not yielded efficiencies, this analysis aims to shed light on whether banks, at the start of the wave, had reason to believe that larger banks would be more efficient.
