Abstract

Italian Abstract: Il lavoro analizza l’impatto che l’eterogeneità nel ricorso da parte della clientela bancaria ai servizi on line nei vari mercati locali ha avuto sulla successiva dinamica degli sportelli bancari. L’analisi, relativa al periodo 2012-15, si concentra sulla clientela retail, il segmento maggiormente interessato dallo sviluppo dei canali digitali. I principali risultati indicano che le chiusure degli sportelli sono state più intense per le banche e le province ove maggiore era la diffusione presso la clientela di servizi bancari online.

English Abstract: Notwithstanding internet banking is now widely used by retail customers, little is known about its effect on the banking industry. In this paper we study how internet banking relates to branching policies in Italian local credit markets. Focusing on the period 2012-2015, we show that branch closures were more intense for those local markets and banks where the diffusion of digital banking services was higher.
