This study evaluates whether the development of Islamic banking influences macroeconomic efficiency. Thus, we … approach to estimate technical efficiency at the country level for a sample of 70 countries. We use a unique hand … favours macroeconomic efficiency. Furthermore, we have support for a non-linear relation with efficiency for Islamic banking …

This paper contributes to the debate on the effect of capital requirements on bank efficiency. We study the relation … between capital ratio and bank efficiency for Chinese banks over the period 2004-2009, taking advantage of the profound … the capital ratio on banks’ cost efficiency. We find that such an increase has a positive effect on cost efficiency, the …

This paper addresses the relationship between bank competition and efficiency by computing Lerner indices and cost … efficiency scores for a sample of Chinese banks over the period 2002-2011. Granger-causality tests are performed in a dynamic GMM … competition over the period, even as cost efficiency improves. In a departure from the empirical literature showing that …

This paper aims to analyze the cost efficiency of Belgian banks for the period 1992-2000. Efficiency is measured with … stochastic frontier approach. Our results are: (a) Efficiency level of Belgian banks is about 72%, meaning the existence of … strong potential gains in cost efficiency for Belgian banks. (b) Efficiency of Belgian banks strongly increased between 1992 …

. Second, we investigate the relationship and causality between competition and efficiency. We perform a Granger … economies of scale in the banking sector, in this way reducing the cost efficiency of banks. Therefore, our results reject the … intuitive ‘quiet life’ hypothesis and indicate a negative relationship between competition and efficiency in banking. …

Our paper aims to check whether financial … integration has taken place on the banking markets, by investigating the convergence in banking efficiency for European Union … countries. We measure cost efficiency of banks from 10 EU countries between 1994 and 2005 with the stochastic frontier approach …

Considering the evidence that China's five largest state-owned banks (the Big Five) suffer from low cost efficiency …, this paper decomposes overall efficiency of Chinese banks into: persistent efficiency and transient efficiency components …. Low persistent efficiency reflects structural problems, while low transient efficiency is associated with short …
