Our paper aims to check whether financial … countries. We measure cost efficiency of banks from 10 EU countries between 1994 and 2005 with the stochastic frontier approach …

This paper aims to estimate efficiency of the Slovak commercial banks in the period 2001-2005. The paper uses data … obtained from annual reports of 13 Slovak banking institutions. For the practical estimation we applied the parametric … as the average efficiency increased. This is also evident in results of individual banks as 11 banks recorded increase in …

Do negative interest rates affect banks' cost efficiency? We exploit the unprecedented introduction of negative policy … rates by adjusting their cost efficiency. We find that banks most affected by negative interest rates responded by enhancing … their cost efficiency. We also show that improvements in cost efficiency are more pronounced for banks that are larger, less …

This study explains the differences and variances in the efficiency scores of the Vietnamese banking sector retrieved … mainly based on frontier efficiency measurements, which essentially are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic … efficiency, whilst the opposite is true for the data type, and sample size. …

This paper examines the impact of regulatory policies on banking market efficiency using a sample of 678 commercial … Squares method. Focus is on two alternative measures of banking market efficiency: net interest margin and overhead costs … (operating expenses to assets). Elevated levels of these two ratios should indicate a low level of banking efficiency. The …
