The stochastic frontier analysis (Aigner et al., 1977, Meeusen and van de Broeck, 1977) is widely used to estimate individual efficiency scores. The basic idea lies in the introduction of an additive error term consisting of a noise and an inefficiency term. Most often the assumption of a...

Diese Arbeit erforscht Effizienzunterschiede regional tätiger Kreditinstitute und zieht hierzu die deutschen Genossenschaftsbanken im Zeitraum 2005–2011 heran. Das verwendete Erfolgsmaß, die Bruttogewinnspanne, liegt bei ländlichen Instituten durchweg höher als bei städtischen. Zwischen...

This study analyzes internal and external factors that affect banking efficiency by using quarterly data for 2013-2017. The sample includes conventional and Islamic commercial banks. Hypothesis testing uses the Tobit regression model. The results show that the loan to deposit ratio/ financing to...

The greater competition and concentration in South Africa's financial sector has put South African banks under more constraints and led to questioning of their present performance. With a greater demand for financial services and more complains about the low quality of financial services and...

Este trabajo presenta un modelo de frontera estocástica con parámetros aleatorios en el componente de ineficiencia aplicado al sector bancario. Este modelo permite capturar la influencia de las exposiciones de riesgo sobre la eficiencia bancaria y distingue estos efectos entre bancos con...

This paper addresses the concerns regarding the sustainability of the banking sector in India prompted by the recent unintended high level of non-performing assets (NPAs). It uncovers the linkage between NPAs and banking efficiency by integrating NPAs into the measurement of bank efficiency to...

The aim of this study is to extend the literature by extensively investigating the efficiency of banks in Saudi Arabia and examining its relationship with stock performance through relying on six measures of efficiency (three price efficiencies and three technical efficiencies). This study...

This paper analyses the development in relative efficiency of Danish banks in the period 2001-2012. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) techniques, we find that mean relative efficiency increased during the expansive period 2003-2007, while it decreased...

Deregulation, re-regulation and continuing globalisation embody an imperative that banks increase efficiency to survive. We employ non-parametric bootstrap DEA to measure technical efficiency among Jamaican banks between 1998 and 2007. In addition, we test for conditional convergence to identify...

The recent literature on measuring bank performance indicates a preference for sophisticated techniques over simple accounting ratios. We explore the results and relationships between bank efficiency estimates using accounting ratios and Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) with bootstrap among Jamaican...
