Analysis on the Distribution of Bank Outlets and Its Influencing Factors——Taking Sichuan Province as an Example

Jie Liu, Qinyao He

Abstract


Based on the data of outlet distribution of different types of banks in 21 cities and prefectures in Sichuan Province from 2008 to
2021, this paper quantitatively studies the overall characteristics and evolution rules of outlet distribution, constructs 12 indicators affecting
the layout of bank outlets in Sichuan Province according to four different types of outlet distribution areas by using the non-parametric maximum score method. The study finds that economic and financial development is still the key to determine the layout of outlets, and with the
spread of IT applications, market distance no longer restricts the cross-regional operation of commercial banks; and banks with brand disadvantages have stronger motivation to expand their outlets, which can easily lead to waste of resources and requires stronger rational guidance.

Keywords


Outlet Layout; Regional Distribution; Economies of Scale; Influencing Factors
