Using a unique dataset of non-listed …rms that identi…es the banks the …rms transact with, we examine the eects of the largest-ever bank merger in Japan, that between Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi (BTM) and UFJ Bank (UFJ) in 2005. We focus on how the merger aected …rms through their …rm-bank relationships. Speci…cally, we examine whether there are any dierences in how the availability of loans evolved over time for …rms that prior to the merger transacted with both of the merged banks, with one of the merged banks, or with none of them. We …nd the following: (1) Firms that had transacted with both BTM and UFJ saw their borrowing costs increase by 40bp relative to those that had transacted with neither of them. (2) Firms that transacted with one of the two banks saw their bor- rowing costs increase by a smaller but still signi…cant margin of 20bp relative to those that had transacted with neither of them. And (3) we do not …nd a signi…cant dierence in the extent that borrowing costs increased between …rms that transacted with the acquiring bank (BTM) and those that transacted with the acquired bank (UFJ). These results sug- gest that the bank merger increased …rms'borrowing costs partly through the exogenous decrease in the number of …rm-bank relationships and partly through changes in the orga- nizational structure of the merged bank, including a consolidation of the branch network.
