Abstract

We explore the intricate connection between political partisanship and commercial bank efficiency in the United States from 1972 to 2020 to assess the persistent influence of political affiliations on bank efficiency at the state and District of Columbia levels. To do so, we calculate bank efficiency scores using a double bootstrapped method and employ a spatial dynamic panel framework with Tobit modeling, controlling for various factors in the banking and real economy sectors. Our analysis highlights the significant impact of U.S. state and national elections on interdependent bank efficiency scores, robustly supporting the "partisan theory" and its role in shaping U.S. bank efficiency over five decades. Furthermore, we provide compelling evidence that Democratic victories at both state and national levels tend to improve state-level bank efficiency, even after considering bank-specific variables. Additionally, changing the political party in power every four years could enhance the efficiency of the U.S. banking system.
