摘要:This paper will contribute to the structure and performance literature that involved research on the performance of Southeast Asia (SEA) banks after experiencing the financial crisis in mid-1997. In line with recent development in market structure research and literature, it expanded the analysis of concentration by investigating the structure performance consequence during the post Asian financial crisis period, 1999 to 2005 focusing on six countries that most effected by Asian financial crisis, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. This study looks into the concentration ratio by employing two most common measures; thek-bank concentration ratios and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), extended the analysis to test the Efficient Structure (ES) hypothesis. Our findings reject the traditional Structure Conduct Performance (SCP) paradigm in Southeast Asia banking.
