Bank stability and its relationship with competition among banks after global financial crisis. New evidences from Albanian banking sector

This paper analyses the relationship between competition and banking stability in the Albanian banking sector during the period 2008 - 2017. For this reason, an index of banking competition, such as the Boone indicator, is constructed. Other alternative indicators are also calculated, such as: the Lerner index and adjusted Lerner index; and the competition indicator, which relates to profit elasticity.
