The research question here is two-fold. The article seeks to explain why bank performance varied so dramatically during and after the financial crisis on Europe’s periphery, both across states and also at times within them. The dependent variable used is bank performance in terms of credit provision and banks’ contribution to financial stability. The independent variable used is the particular mix at play between political/social purpose (the various forms of which are detailed below) and what is called ‘market authority’, which refers to the importance of market incentives, signals and pricing within a particular financial ‘ecosystem’. The second, related research question is why bank behaviour contributes to economic catching up and adjustment in some countries, but sets back others
