Do negative interest rates affect banks' cost efficiency? We exploit the unprecedented introduction of negative policy … rates by adjusting their cost efficiency. We find that banks most affected by negative interest rates responded by enhancing … their cost efficiency. We also show that improvements in cost efficiency are more pronounced for banks that are larger, less …

This study explains the differences and variances in the efficiency scores of the Vietnamese banking sector retrieved … mainly based on frontier efficiency measurements, which essentially are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic … efficiency, whilst the opposite is true for the data type, and sample size. …

This paper examines the impact of regulatory policies on banking market efficiency using a sample of 678 commercial … Squares method. Focus is on two alternative measures of banking market efficiency: net interest margin and overhead costs … (operating expenses to assets). Elevated levels of these two ratios should indicate a low level of banking efficiency. The …

Using bank level structural variables we determine four different profit and cost banking technologies in the data. Further … analysis indicates heterogeneity not only among the level of profit and cost efficiency, but also regarding the response of …

243 mergers, we analyze motives for and cost effects of small-scale mergers in German banking. Estimating a frontier cost … function with a timevariable stochastic efficiency term we show that positive scale and scope effects from a merger arise only … efficiency as the acquiring firms. For the post-merger phase, our empirical results provide no evidence for efficiency gains from …

This paper investigates the size-efficiency relation of European cooperative banks during the 2006-2015 period. We … cooperative banks from 12 European countries. This work extends the existing literature by focusing on shape of size-efficiency … European cooperative banks are significantly more cost efficient than their bigger peers and that the size-efficiency relation …

Nonparametric or parametric techniques, such as DEA with the Malmquist … studies of the European banking sector published after year 2000. The main results of this research will be the comparative …

This comparative study analyzed the impact of loan portfolio composition on the efficiency of different types of banks … in India-public sector, old private, and new private banks-in the period between 2013 and 2022. Efficiency was evaluated … sector lending, and secured lending in proportion to the overall loans-as independent factors against the efficiency score as …

Further, the Tobit regression model is used in the second stage to … average efficiency scores of public sector banks (PSBs) are higher than private banks. The Z-score indicates that both PSBs … levels are significantly related to all types of efficiencies for private banks. On the other hand, the efficiency of PSBs is …

Purpose - This paper investigates the development of efficiency and the progress of banking integration in the European … for convergent clusters in banking efficiency. Findings - Our main findings show that the bank efficiency of the US is … convergence of efficiency of Eurozone, European and US banking. Finally, in our paper special consideration was given to the …
