Abstract
The empirical results find that the banking sectors within EU are not homogeneous and also that there is asymmetry between the performance of EU-15 (i.e., large banking sectors) and EU-12 banking sectors (i.e., small banking sectors). Generally, size had a negative impact on financial stability within the EU banking sectors. However, this paper finds no strong evidence for a relationship between competition and risk-taking behavior by EU banks. Finally, this paper finds evidence for the existence of a TBTF effect within EU-15 banking sectors.
