报告摘要：

Based on samples of banks from the initial 11 Eurozone member states, this study achieves two goals. First, this paper presents new evidence to explore the relationship between competition and innovation. Second, this paper examines Granger causality runs between the two variables. Using the technology gap ratio to measure bank innovation and the Lerner index and Boone indicator to measure bank competition, the paper reveals an inverted-U relationship between competition and innovation. Using the full sample, the Granger causality tests indicate a full negative bidirectional causality between competition and innovation. When separate Granger causality test is examined on each of the upward slope and the downward slope of the inverted-U curve, the results indicate a positive bidirectional causation between competition and innovation along the upward slope, whereas a lack of support of causality link between competition and innovation along the downward slope.
