Abstract: Regression analysis is used to estimate static and dynamic restructuring, direct and external effects of mergers from 1994 to 2001 on bank agricultural loan-to-asset ratios. Results indicate that mergers have a negative effect on agricultural loan ratios. The effect is less pronounced for smaller than larger bank mergers and more pronounced for mergers of banks affiliated with the same holding company than other merger types.
