This paper contributes to the existing literature by examining the efficiency and competitiveness of the Takaful insurance. We employ the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compute the efficiency of Takaful operators, while Panzar-Rosse (P-R) H-statistic method is used to evaluate the degree of...

Research on interbank networks and systemic importance is starting to recognise that the web of exposures linking banks balance sheets is more complex than the single-layer-of-exposure paradigm. We use data on exposures between large European banks broken down by both maturity and instrument...

The analyses of intersectoral linkages of Leontief (1941) and Hirschman (1958) provide a natural way to study the transmission of risk among interconnected banks and to measure their systemic importance. In this paper we show how classic input-output analysis can be applied to banking and how to...

The purpose of this study is to measure the relative efficiency of banks in Jordan using DEA. Also, it investigated the determinants of such efficiency, in terms of bank size and capitalization. The duration of the measured performance of this sector is (2005-2008). The results indicate that...

This study investigates the technical and profit efficiency of commercial banks in Pakistan. Data Envelopment Analysis is used as a preferred methodology to accurately determine profit and technical efficiency. The constant return to scale model is employed and Excel Solver is used to give...

This study analyzes the performance and comparative efficiency between the Caixa de Crédito Agricola Mútuo da Região de Bragança e Alto Douro bank branches, credit cooperative that integrates "Crédito Agrícola Mútuo Integrated System" (SICAM). With the use of Data Envelopment Analysis...

Banking efficiency has been one of the most often studied subjects since the introduction of Data Envelopment Analysis. However, there is no broadly accepted model specification yet. Recently a new model, particularly addressing the ambiguous role of deposits in banking, has been presented by...

The current financial crisis hit the banking giants of the world really hard. It is striking to note that some of the large Chinese commercial banks have emerged to be the biggest winners as a result of the crisis thanks to reforms over the last 10 years. The most significant reform before the...

This paper applies a data envelopment analysis (DEA) to study the effect of non-bank financial intermediation on bank efficiency in the eight EU jurisdictions individually monitored under the Financial Stability Board (FSB) Global Shadow Banking Monitoring Report in the period 2014-2016.The...
