This paper shows evidence on the influence of risk-taking on bank efficiency in emerging markets and identifies … inefficiency parameters to a sample of Colombian banks. The model provides accurate cost and profit efficiency estimates. The … effects of risk-taking on efficiency vary with size and affiliation. Large and foreign banks benefit more from higher exposure …
