The stochastic frontier analysis is employed to investigate efficiency of publicly listed Australian banks over the period 1985-2008. The results suggest that technical, cost and profit efficiency of Australian banks have improved over our sample span. Large banks have attained a higher level of...

In this paper, we apply the so-called meta-frontier non-radial directional distance function approach to a performance analysis of 143 Chinese banks over the period 2006–13. We find that relative to the group frontier in each market segment, the Big-5 Chinese banks display good efficiency....
