In this chapter, the extent of inefficiency of bank branches in different dimensions is evaluated with slack based … model of data envelopment analysis. Each efficiency dimension reveals the strengths, weaknesses, and improvement … the improvement strategies accordingly. An extensive literature analysis of bank branches and future research directions …

Since the introduction of bootstrap DEA there is a growing literature on applications which use this method, mainly for … hypothesis testing. It is therefore important to establish the consistency and evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA. The few … coverage probabilities are not a good tool of assessment. In our study we evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA using the …

Bootstrap DEA is a significant development of the past decade …, which could be extended to test almost any hypothesis in bootstrap DEA. Moreover, it enhances the intuition behind bootstrap … DEA and highlights logical and theoretical pitfalls that should be avoided. …
