Abstract
The aim of this paper is present a comparative approach of competitiveness condition in the banking system of Iran by use of two different New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) approaches (Panzar-Rosse and Hall-Roeger models) over the years 2003-2011 for P-R model, and 2007-2011 for other one. The result of calculated H-statistics shows that, the Iranian banking sector’s market structure has a monopolistic situation. In the case of Hall-Roeger model we calculate the Lerner Index for 18 banks, The results for Lerner index show that for 15 banks are P M C and for rest of them is P M C . For comparative purposes the obtained results between the Panzar-Rosse model and HallRoeger model, is that it seems that the degree of competition in Hall-Roeger model seems to be intensive than other model. However, these result are similar both of them show that the Iranian banking industry market is non-competitive.
