In this paper we investigate the validity of two assumptions frequently used to justify the transformation of the Mexican banking system through federal regulation. These assumptions are: (i) the alleged existence of economies of scale, and (ii) a homogeneous structure of the Mexican banking system. Econometric evidence from banking data over the period 1980 - 1982 suggests that neither of these assumptions are likely valid. The Mexican banking system is subject to constant rather than increasing returns to scale
