Based upon a limit entry profit model, an entry equation is estimated with data from 18 local banking markets in Florida. Using dummy variables it is shown that the intercept term of the entry equation increases under Florida's relaxed geographic restrictions on banking. Prediction results suggest that entry would have been significantly greater during the period 1977-79 had Florida allowed state-wide branching instead of countywide branching during this period. This paper's conclusions are consistent with earlier studies that find increased entry into banking after a reduction in government regulation. In the current controversy over the desirability of geographic deregulation, both interstate and intrastate, this paper provides policymakers with more evidence that deregulation enhances entry into commercial banking.
