Abstract
Using assets data of the World's 1,000 and 500 largest banks, this paper provides comparisons in terms of averages and percentages held by top banks. The paper also provides a comparison in asset concentration by using the Herfindahl and Theil's entropy indexes for measurement of concentration. Of special interest is whether the merger wave in the banking sector in recent years considerably increased the level of concentration.
