The Panzar-Rosse model is used for the testing competition in Turkish banking industry. Specifically, we use a panel with data for most of the Turkish banks to estimate the H statistics. We conclude that the Turkish banking industry can be characterized as a monopolistic competition which is close to monopoly. Result implies the Turkish banks do not operate in a competitive environment and enjoy monopoly rents. It can be concluded that competitive conditions were decreasing during the analysed period.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscompetitionPanzar-Rosse modelTurkish banking sectorConference Object389399N/AWOS:000306544000038
