the level of competitiveness and efficiency. We estimate X-inefficiency for a sample of banks operating in the European … Union using the stochastic frontier approach. We relate efficiency levels to market competitiveness employing Panzar & Rosse …’s H statistic for three clusters of banks constructed according to their efficiency scores. In addition, we examine the …

In addition, it is found that higher level of efficiency results in higher … efficiency and competition-efficiency hypothesis holds in the Chinese banking industry.

This paper tests the interrelationships between risk, competition and efficiency in the Chinese banking industry over … Efficiency-adjusted Lerner index and stability inefficiency as the indicators of competition and insolvency risk and more … importantly, it is the first piece of research testing the interrelationships between different types of risk, efficiency and …

This paper investigates the different effects of competition and securitization on US bank efficiency between 2001 and … that higher securitization increases banks’ cost efficiency scores. When banks are under competitive pressure, the fixed …-effects and GMM models show that securitization is positively associated with the cost efficiency of banks, while it mitigates …
