The study provides new empirical evidence on the efficiency of a dual compared to a single banking sector. Using data on the Indian and Pakistani banking sectors, we analyse the efficiency of both banking sectors in the recent financial crises of 2004-2010. We employ the Data Envelopment...

This paper asseses the efficiency of the State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) in Asia-Pacific and European regions by adapting a non-parametric analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compute technical efficiency (TE). There are two TE models available namely constant returns-to-scale (CRS) and...

By employing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, the present paper investigates the performance of the Malaysian banking sector around the Asian financial crisis with the emphasis on the domestic vs. foreign banks debate. The results suggest that the foreign banks have exhibited higher...

By employing the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, this paper examines the impact of risks on China banks' technical and scale efficiency estimates. To do so, we follow the procedures set out by Drake and Hall (2003) to include risk factor as a non-discretionary input variable. The results...

By employing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, the present paper investigates the performance of the Malaysian banking sector around the Asian financial crisis with the emphasis on the domestic vs. foreign banks debate. The results suggest that the foreign banks have exhibited higher...

This paper examines the impact of non-traditional activities on the China banking sector's technical and scale efficiency during the post-reform period 2000-2005. The paper follows the procedures set by Isik and Hassan (2003) by omitting the off-balance sheet items first, before adding it as an...

The paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of economic freedom on bank efficiency. By employing the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, we compute the efficiency of the Indonesian banking sector during the post-Asian financial crisis period of 1999-2008. The empirical findings from...

Employing an event study with a three-year window analysis together with the non-parametric frontier approach, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), this paper investigates the effects of mergers and acquisitions on Malaysian banks' technical and scale efficiency. The results suggest that the merger...

The paper provides empirical evidence on the evolution of the Indonesian banking sector's efficiency during the post Asian financial crisis period of 1999-2008. The efficiency estimates of individual banks are evaluated by using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. The estimates of...
