The study looks into institutions techniques and viability after FIRREA by way of cluster analysis to determine the significant strategies of the most lucrative thrifts in the early post-FIRREA years according to the 1993 balance sheet structures. Empirical results show three significant cluster groups, covering strategy continuum from traditional institutions to diversified organizations including mortgage banking. Meanwhile, the traditional thrift technique still proves to be the most reliable option for well managed institutions.

Intra-industry competitiveness and economic growth

Article Abstract:

The existence of a positive relation between intra-industry competition and per capita income growth can be well established in an imperfect competition. Extra profits generated under an imperfect competition surpass those under prefect competition at the expense of payments to capital and labor. Increase in rental rate of capital, a connotation of a potent competition, in turn, raises the rate of economic growth.
