Description: "This paper examines the relationship between multimarket bank presence and the profitability (and therefore viability) of small, single-market banks.  We find that increased presence of multimarket banks is associated with a significant reduction in the profitability of small, single-market banks operating in rural banking markets, but not of those operating in urban markets.  We explore this relationship by breaking single-market bank profits down into several components in order to shed light on the mechanisms through which multimarket bank presence might influence the profitability of single-market banks"--Federal Reserve Board web site.
