The Cooperative Banking System in Germany: Empirical Evidence and Some Theory

Franz Seitz

Abstract

The paper first presents some empirical facts on the cooperative banking sector with a concentration on the situation in Germany. In the latter respect, we also make some comparisons with other banking groups. In the second part, the paper discusses theoretical arguments on the role of cooperative banks in a modern finance world. We find that there are some specific characteristics which have strengthened the role of cooperative banks in recent years. These also explain why the business model of cooperative banks is still working.(original abstract)
