In this chapter, the extent of inefficiency of bank branches in different dimensions is evaluated with slack based model of data envelopment analysis. Each efficiency dimension reveals the strengths, weaknesses, and improvement capabilities of branches. Multidimensional comparison enables the...

In this study we examine the potential determinants of technical efficiency for the Tunisian commercial banking sector over the period of 1995-2017. First, we estimate banking technical efficiency with a radial and non-radial bootstrap data envelopment analysis. For the radial technique, we use...
