I. INTRODUCTION
Our preliminary investigation indicates that the response of deposit interest rate and lending rate
towards monetary policy in Indonesia has been asymmetric. The response of deposit rate has
been relatively proportional and timely, whereas the response of lending rate has been lagging
and relatively rigid. This could be an indication of uncompetitive market (Cottarelli dan Kourelis,
1994; Borio and Fritz, 1995). Moreover, responses towards monetary policy among group of
banks with different assets are heterogenous. Therefore, it indicates that some behavior related
to individual market power and interaction among banks affect the industry response.
Those problems, which related to competition behavior in banking industry, are likely to
affect the monetary policy transmission, particularly through interest rate channel and lending
channel. Further, competition is also a relevant factor to increase efficiency (Hafidz dan Astuti,
2013) and to determine interest rates (Muljawan et. al. 2014).
Previous literatures conduct empirical estimates on this issue by applying widely-used
competition indicators such as Lerner Index (Amidu and Wolfe, 2013), Hirchman-Herfindahl
Index (Adams and Amel, 2011), Panzar and Rosse H-Statistic (Gunji et. al, 2007; Oliviero et.
al., 2011) and Boone Indicator (van Leuvensteijn, 2013). This method, particularly by using
Lerner, Boone Indicator or H-Statistic can indicate “conduct and performance” effect, whereas
HHI only capture market structure effect. However, those approaches are generally explains
competition on the whole industry, and does not capture asymmetrical interactions among
individual banks.
Ariefianto (2009) suggest estimating specification that derived from Monti-Klein model
that allows possible indication of leader-follower or Cournot interactions. This model is originally
based on Cournot interactions (see Klein, 1971; Frexias and Rochet, 2008). In addition, Toolsema-
Veldman and Schoonbeek (1999) had derived a Stackleberg version of this model. However,
Ariefianto (2009) estimates are based on arbitrary choice of samples.
This research will examine competition in banking industry using industrial organization
approach, also by improving methods to determine sample selection. Further, this research will
model interest rate setting on a bank towards monetary policy using game theory and analyze
the implications on monetary policy transmissions. Particularly, this research tries to answer
three questions; first, how is the competition behavior on Indonesian banking industry? Second,
if the leader(s) exist, how the followers will respond to leader’s decisions? Third, how does the
bank competition indirectly affect monetary policy transmissions?
This research is aim to contribute a more interactive indication about competition behavior
on banking industry. In addition, this research potentially indicates a recommendation to
increase the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission. We limit the analysis on the case
of Indonesia.
23Competition and Leader-Follower Interactions: Panel Estimates on Indonesian Banking
II. THEORY
Bank competition is essential to be discussed. Competition between banks tends to raise
efficiency (Hafidz and Astuti, 2013). Empirically, the degree of competition is one of determining
factors of interest rate (Muljawan et. al. 2014). Moreover, a more concentrated banking industry
has more rigid interest rate movement (Hannan and Berger, 1991; Neumark and Sharpe, 1992).
However, Adams and Amel, (2011) said that the relationship between banking competition
and monetary policy response are ambiguous.
Previous empirical studies conduct estimates on this issue by applying a widely-used
competition indicators such as Lerner Index (Amidu and Wolfe, 2013), Hirchman-Herfindahl
Index (Adams and Amel, 2011) and Panzar and Rosse H-Statistic (Gunji et. al, 2007; Oliviero
et. al., 2011). This method, particularly by using Lerner or H-Statistic can indicate “conduct
and performance” effect, whereas HHI only capture market structure effect. However,
those approaches generally provide insights on the industry as a whole, and cannot capture
asymmetrical interactions among individual banks.
Ariefianto (2009) suggest estimating specification that derived from Monti-Klein model
that allows possible indication of leader-follower relationship or Cournot interactions. This
model is originally based on Cournot interactions (see Klein, 1971; Frexias and Rochet, 2008).
In addition, Toolsema-Veldman and Schoonbeek (1999) had derived a Stackleberg version of
this model.
We recall a form of Monti-Klein model, by noting the following assumptions:
1. Two bank products, deposit and credit, are homogenous. Bank 1 and bank 2 have linier
function of deposit and credit demand:
r
L
= α - βL ; L= L

+ L2
2. Banks using deposit and credit quantities as strategic instrument

Bank Indonesia.

Combining equations (1) to (5) above, obtained maximization utility function of bank:

Equation (7) and (8) show that the quantity of credit (deposit) of a bank is affected inversely
by that the quantity of credit (deposit) of the leader and those of other competitor.
III. METHODOLOGY
3.1. Empirical Specification
For the first analysis, we use a general specification that allows leader-follower (i.e. Stackleberg)
relationship, the possibility of Cournot competition and other form of Competition, as in
Ariefianto (2009).
From (7) and (8), we have basic understanding that one bank’s lending (deposit) depends
on its leader and other bank’s lending (deposit). Combining (7) and (8) with macroeconomics and
banking variables, where , the general specification can be represent as follows:
Xit = α + β1Xp
t + β2X-i,t + Σk
γkYk
t + Σm
μmZm
it + u
it
Xit is the amount of loan (deposit) of a particular bank i at t, Xp
t is the amount of loan
(deposit) supplied by the leader, X-i,t is the amount of loan (deposit) supplied by the rest of
followers, Yk
t is the kth panel-invariant factor, zm
it is the mth panel-variant factor, and uit is the
stochastic error. a is a constant.
25Competition and Leader-Follower Interactions: Panel Estimates on Indonesian Banking
The possible key hypotheses on Equation (9) are as follows: 1. If b1 < 0 and b2 < 0, it
indicates that the leader and other competitor are significant to affect bank’s quantity of credit/
deposit; 2. If b1 < 0 and b2 = 0, then the market is indicated to be consistent to leaderfollower
relationship (i.e. Stackleberg competition). 3. If b2 < 0, b1 = 0, then the market is indicated to
be consistent with Cournot model, or it can be inferred that there is no leader exist. 4. If b1 >
0 and/or b2 > 0 , it may indicate other form of competition that is not usually predicted.
Control variables, the “panel variant” or “panel invariant” factors consists of
macroeconomic variables (GDP, inflation, exchange rates, and benchmark interest rates), specific
internal bank variables (non-performing loans, capital adequacy ratio, etc), and industry variables
(HHI). This list of control variables are partly based on Claessens and Laeven (2004) and Angellini
dan Certorelli (2003). Further details of these variables are reported on the appendix.
We use two approaches to estimate Equation (9), namely: 1. the standard panel fixed
effect methodology to absorb time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity (by replacing a with ai
); 2. dynamic panel data as in Arellano-Bond (1991) to minimize the risks of endogeneity (by
replacing a with Xit-1).
3.2. Grouping of Observations
Observations consist of monthly data of 119 banks listed in Indonesia. The main data source
are Bank Indonesia and CEIC. Observations are grouped based on an identification of whether
banks compete on a relevant market, where the products across banks have a high degree
of interchangeability. This step is crucial as competition is the central issue in this paper. To
facilitate this matter, on estimations on credit market we use degree of similarity on credit across
economic sectors between each bank and the leader candidate, using the following formula:
(10)
Xi =
-
xik
Σk xik
K
k
ΣxIk
Σk xIk
xik is bank i’s lending on sector k, and xIk is bank leader’s lending on the corresponding
sector. This formula was modified and inversed from trade complementary index (Michaely,
1996), which is used generally in international trade analysis. The leader candidates are Bank
A, Bank B, Bank C, Bank D, and Bank E.
Similarly, for estimations on deposits, we use degree of similarity on deposit spatially
(i.e. individual bank’s deposit distribution across provinces) between each bank and its leader
candidate, using following representation:
26 Buletin Ekonomi Moneter dan Perbankan, Volume 19, Nomor 1, Juli 2016
xim is bank i’s deposits on province m, and xIm is the leader’s quantity of deposits on the
corresponding province.
Each group estimates applies to a group of observations that consists of 30 banks with
the lowest value of Xi. As we have 5 suspected leaders (Bank A, B, C, D, E), then we have 5
groups (Group A, B, C, D, E, respectively) to estimate. In addition, we conduct estimation using
all observations as a robustness test for omitted variable bias regarding omitted competitors
across groups. To note, for full-sample estimations, we define the quantity of leaders’ deposit/
credit is the sum of those of all leader candidates.
IV. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
4.1. Credit Market
The results of fixed effect panel regression (Table IV.1-1) shows that four groups of banks,
each with Bank A, Bank B, Bank D, and Bank E as the leader respectively, follow Stackleberg
competition, without any indication of Cournot competition. The highest follower response
to the leader’s choice of credit quantity is indicated on the group of banks with Bank B as the
leader (i.e. Group B). Moreover, GDP have positive impact to dependent variables with elasticity
close to unity. Non-performing loan (NPL) has negative impact to bank lending.

27Competition and Leader-Follower Interactions: Panel Estimates on Indonesian Banking
Dynamic panel data for credit indicates a leader-follower relationship for all groups
estimated, and also consistent for full-sample estimates, that contain all banks in the
industry.
Bank C and Bank B groups follows Stackleberg and Cournot competition model
simultaneously. The highest response to the leader’s decision is indicated on the group of banks
with Bank D as the leader. GDP have positive impact with short term elasticity 0.14 – 0.30.
Interbank money market rate and NPL variables are negative, tends to be inelastic. The lag
dependent parameters are estimated below unity, thus indicate dynamic stability.
4.2. Deposit Market
The fixed effect panel data regression shows that a leader-follower relationship occurs in all
groups of observations, except for the groups of observations with Bank C and Bank A as the
leader, respectively. Cournot competition model applies for all groups, except for the group
of banks with Bank A as the leader. The highest follower response to the leader’s decision
occurs on the group of banks with Bank D as the leader. GDP have positive impact to quantity
of deposit with elasticity that close to unity, especially in groups of banks with Bank C, Bank
A, and Bank D the leader, respectively. Non-performing loan (NPL) has a negative impact to
bank’s deposit amount.

In general, dynamic panel regression indicates that Stackleberg and Cournot competition
models apply simultaneously for all group estimates and full-sample estimates.
The highest response occurs on the group of banks with Bank D as the leader (i.e. Group
D), where 10% increase on Bank D’s deposit will be responded by, on average, 3.6% decrease

on follower’s deposit. GDP have positive impact to deposit variables. Herfindahl–Hirschman
Index (HHI) has negative impact with small effect. Lag dependent coefficients below 1 indicates
dynamic stability of the model.
V. CONCLUSIONS
The estimation results suggest a leader and follower relationship among banks on most of the
grouped observations, although with some variations in magnitude. Generally, competition
between followers is insignificant on credit market, but is significant on deposit market. Leader
and follower competition result can be viewed on Table 3 below. Control variables, such as:
GDP, inflation rate, interbank rate, exchange rate, HHI, credit diversification, credit to PDB ratio,
and operational bank ratios are generally show consistent parameters as expected. All-sample
estimates also suggesting similar results, and hence confirming the robustness of selected-
sample regressions. For estimates using dynamic panel regressions, all estimations fulfill dynamic
stability and well represent the data variations. Moreover, the estimations met the exogeneity
assumptions for instrumental variables.

Although our results indicate that leader-follower relationship is generally hold on both
credit and deposit market, either in separate groups or full sample, this paper still put restrictive
assumptions on the leaders’ behavior. The interactive responses between leaders have yet to
be analyzed without any prior restrictions. The suggestion for further research is to improve
the empirical specification. For instance, to use credit/deposit similarities as a weight matrix
that attached to the leader-follower coefficients to allow multiple leaders at once as well as to
allow heterogeneous response towards each leader’s decisions.

This paper analyses the extent to which the level of bank competition influences monetary policy transmission. Using a large panel dataset of 978 banks from 55 countries, and employing the Lerner index model as a measure of market structure, our results show that an increase in banking sector competition weakens the effectiveness of monetary policy on bank lending. The findings are robust to a broad array of sensitivity checks including control of alternative measurements of the Lerner index, different samples and different methodological specifications. By extension, these results have important policy implications for regulators in assessing the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission mechanisms.

Twenty years ago, most banking courses focused on either management or monetary aspects of banking, with no connecting. Since then, a microeconomic theory of banking has developed, mainly through a switch of emphasis from the modeling of risk to the modeling of imperfect information. This asymmetric information model is based on the assumption that different economic agents possess different pieces of information on relevant economic variables, and that they will use the information for their own profit. The model has been extremely useful in explaining the role of banks in the economy. It has also been useful in pointing out structural weaknesses of the banking sector that may justify government intervention--for example, exposure to runs and panics, the persistence of rationing in the credit market, and solvency problems. Microeconomics of Banking provides a guide to the new theory. Topics include why financial intermediaries exist, the industrial organization approach to banking, optimal contracting between lenders and borrowers, the equilibrium of the credit market, macroeconomic consequences of financial imperfections, individual bank runs and systemic risk, risk management inside the banking firm, and bank regulation. Each chapter ends with a detailed problem set and solutions.

The difference and system generalized method-of-moments estimators, developed by Holtz-Eakin, Newey, and Rosen (1988, Econometrica 56: 1371–1395); Arellano and Bond (1991, Review of Economic Studies 58: 277–297); Arellano and Bover (1995, Journal of Econometrics 68: 29–51); and Blundell and Bond (1998, Journal of Econometrics 87: 115–143), are increasingly popular. Both are general estimators designed for situations with “small T, large N″ panels, meaning few time periods and many individuals; independent variables that are not strictly exogenous, meaning they are correlated with past and possibly current realizations of the error; fixed effects; and heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation within individuals. This pedagogic article first introduces linear generalized method of moments. Then it describes how limited time span and potential for fixed effects and endogenous regressors drive the design of the estimators of interest, offering Stata-based examples along the way. Next it describes how to apply these estimators with xtabond2. It also explains how to perform the Arellano–Bond test for autocorrelation in a panel after other Stata commands, using abar. The article concludes with some tips for proper use.

We study the effect of local market bank concentration on business loan originations and on the pass-through of the federal funds rate to business loan originations. Economic theory on the relationship between concentration and the pass-through of input prices to quantity (or price) is ambiguous. We find that more concentrated markets have lower business loan originations and experience smaller changes in business loan originations in response to changes in the federal funds rate. Our results support the idea that market concentration dampens quantity reactions to input price changes.

This paper examines how banking competition affects the transmission of monetary policy through the bank lending channel. We apply a two-step estimation procedure using bank-level panel data for commercial banks in 10 Asian and 10 Latin American countries during the period from 1996 to 2006. In the first step we measure the degree of banking competition by applying the methodology proposed by Panzar and Rosse (1987). In the second step we estimate a loan growth equation where the explanatory variables include the Panzar–Rosse measure of banking competition. The estimation results provide consistent evidence that increased competition in the banking sector weakens the transmission of monetary policy through the bank lending channel. This is especially true for banks in Latin American countries and banks of small size, low liquidity, and low capitalization. We also discuss the policy implications of the main findings of this paper.

This paper presents specification tests that are applicable after estimating a dynamic model from panel data by the generalized method of moments (GMM), and studies the practical performance of these procedures using both generated and real data. Our GMM estimator optimally exploits all the linear moment restrictions that follow from the assumption of no serial correlation in the errors, in an equation which contains individual effects, lagged dependent variables and no strictly exogenous variables. We propose a test of serial correlation based on the GMM residuals and compare this with Sargan tests of over-identifying restrictions and Hausman specification tests.

There is an apparent theoretical discrepancy between the effects of monetary policy shocks on economies with differently competitive banking sectors. We employ cross-country data to investigate this hypothesis with two different approaches. First, using aggregate data we analyze the correlation between two indices: (i) a cumulative impulse response function providing an index of the effect of monetary policy shocks; and (ii) Panzar and Rosse's H-statistic as an index of the state of bank competition. Second, using disaggregated data we regress bank lending on the interaction of bank competition and monetary policy shocks. The first approach does not provide any evidence of a relationship between monetary policy shocks and bank competition. However, the second approach suggests that competition in the banking industry leads to smaller monetary policy effects on bank lending.
