Zusammenfassung:We investigate the motives and consequences of the consolidation of banks in Japan during the period of fiscal year 1990-2004 using a comprehensive dataset. Our analysis suggests that the governmentメs too-big-to-fail policy played an important role in the mergers and acquisitions (M&As), though its attempt does not seem to have been successful.

We obtain no evidence that supports managerial motives for empire building
