Hidden cost reductions in bank mergers: accounting for more productive banks
Wilcox, James A.; Kwan, Simon H. (1999)
Over the past decade, the banking industry has undergone rapid consolidation; indeed, on average, for the past three years there were more than two bank mergers every business day.

Bank loan-loss accounting: a review of theoretical and empirical evidence
