, we apply a panel data model, in order to investigate the process of banking integration by testing for convergence and … for convergent clusters in banking efficiency. Findings - Our main findings show that the bank efficiency of the US is …. Originality/value - Our survey is unique in trying to check for convergence while controlling for country-specific and bank …

This paper aims to achieve two targets. First, using balanced panel data from 2008 to 2017 it compares the cost … evidence to conclude that bank efficiencies are different either between the US and Canada, or between large and small banks in …

This paper examines prediction of U.S. bank failure with a probit model that uses bias-corrected technical efficiency … significant for predicting bank failure. This measure of managerial quality allows more accurate prediction of failure than other … measures. The model successfully predicts bank failure one and two years prior to failure. …

In this paper, we propose a panel data semiparametric varying-coefficient model in which covariates (variables …
