The purpose of this article is to examine what affected the technical efficiency of banks in Central and Eastern European countries during the financial crisis. Firstly, this article analyzes the technical efficiency of banks in the selected countries in Central and Eastern Europe during the...

This paper analyzes technical efficiency of domestic commercial banks in Malaysia between 1995 and 2009 by using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) window analysis. By this approach, the technical efficiency is analyzed sequentially with a certain window width (i.e. the number of years in a...

Conventional performance indicators, especially after recent financial restructuring initiatives, are criticized more than ever for not associating performance and risk. The purpose of this study is to benchmark performance of banks in comparison to risk-taking preferences, under different...

In this study, performance and its basic concepts, efficiency, and productivity, are explained and performance measurement methods are discussed. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to measure efficiency in multi-criteria problems and to determine the weights of criteria for...

In this study we examine the potential determinants of technical efficiency for the Tunisian commercial banking sector over the period of 1995-2017. First, we estimate banking technical efficiency with a radial and non-radial bootstrap data envelopment analysis. For the radial technique, we use...

This paper addresses the concerns regarding the sustainability of the banking sector in India prompted by the recent unintended high level of non-performing assets (NPAs). It uncovers the linkage between NPAs and banking efficiency by integrating NPAs into the measurement of bank efficiency to...

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficiency of the banks in Lithuania by employing the DEA method and evaluate bank performance in a low interest rate environment. The efficiency scores were calculated with a non-parametric frontier input-oriented DEA technique with the variable...

The banking system is one of the most important components of the financial systems on which modern economies are largely based. The occurrence of instability in this area may lead to serious economic problems. Therefore, the interest of researchers in this area has been focused mainly on...

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 capabilities of branches. Multidimensional comparison enables the...

This paper examines technical and pure technical efficiencies of ten major financial institutions in Botswana for each year during the period 2001-2006 using data envelopment analysis. In order to obtain more robust and reliable results, the sensitivity of our efficiency indices were put into...
