This paper presents an empirical assessment of the market structure and the competitive conditions of the Chinese banking sector.We applied the Panzar-Rosse H-statistic on the data collected from a panel including 16 most significant Chinese banks for the period 2004-2007.Equilibrium tests and the competitive conditions tests were applied on the data.From the pooled regression in the whole period,we found that the banking sector in China for 2004-2007was monopolistically competitive.We also show that the Chinese banks were not able to achieve high records of profitability in monopolistically competitive markets.
