This paper evaluates the efficiency performance of consumer credit firms in seven EU countries over the period 1996 to 2000. It shows that cross-country differences in efficiency are caused by the environment in which consumer credit firms operate, and that the determinants of efficiency show few statistically significant correlates. As such, the author argues, the results suggest that European integration does not enhance the efficiency of consumer credit firms.
