Frontier Production Function Models for Measuring Banking Efficiency

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology

Efficiency across various bank-groups also attempted to examine whether there exists any ownership structured effects in determining bank efficiency. To estimate efficiency of banks, a stochastic frontier production function model is adopted as an exclusive technique of analysis. The results suggested that Total business as a dependent variable, the overall mean efficiencies exhibited for three time periods are 82%, 80% and 84%. Similarly total income as a dependent variable the overall mean efficiencies are 99%, 99% and 87% over the time periods. Among the four ownership bank groups, SBI and its associates, nationalized banks are found quite efficient in the generating outputs, namely total business as well as total income compared to the other ownership groups i.e. private and foreign banks. In generating both the outputs viz. total business and total income, significant improvement in the labour efficiency is noticed as compared to capital efficiency during the three time periods. In the case of total business output variable, labour efficiency improved from 74%

ANALYZE BANKING EFFICIENCY FROM AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

In this paper we study the performance and the efficiency of the banking sectors from an international perspective. Exploring key factors influencing bank profitability is of crucial importance to improve bank internal management and implement effective banking policies. A mathematical evaluation method is proposed for this study. This method is easy to apply and uses a linear programming model. The weights for various measurements are determined by objective method and are standard. The method is illustrated with real data from twenty-five developed countries worldwide.

Technical Efficiency of Large Bank Production in Asia and the Pacific

2nd International Conference on Banking and Finance, …, 2002

This study investigates the efficiency of large commercial banks in Asia and the Pacific region. In particular, the overall technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency has been estimated, the factors (including, the environmental factors) that influence efficiency of banks in the region have been explained and the mean efficiency of large banks in different countries of the region has been compared. The study found that when the national frontier was expanded to regional frontier, the efficiency scores declined, the environmental variables had significant influence on efficiency scores and developed countries showed pure technical efficiency score significantly higher than the less developed countries. Hence, going by the global advantage hypothesis a surge in mergers and acquisitions of banks in this region is predicted (JEL: O2, G2,

Ranking influencing factors on relative efficiency of banking industry

Management Science Letters, 2013

Measuring the relative efficiency of banking industry has been one of the most interesting areas of research for the past few years. There are literally various techniques for measuring the relative performance of similar units such as banks including data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis. This paper presents an empirical investigation to measure the relative performance of some Iranian banks located in province of Alborz, Iran for two consecutive fiscal years of 2009 and 2010. The proposed study implements stochastic frontier analysis to measure the performance of these banks based on two set of criteria. In the first model, total loans devoted are considered as output and employees, total customers' investment, total fixed assets as well as no-interest deposits are considered as inputs of the model. For the second model, special banks' characteristics such as total economic value of branch, the ratio of fixed assets to total assets, educational backgrounds of employees as well as the level of automation in the system are considered as input parameters of the systems. The results indicate that most bank perform relatively well according to their efficiencies.

Productivity, Performance and Technical Efficiency in Banking: The foreign Bank's Saga in the Context of Financial Reforms in India

This paper is an attempt to examine the total productivity growth of foreign banks for the period 2002-2003 to 2013-2014. Data of ten major foreign sector banks for twelve years were used for the analysis and interpretation. Malmquist Productivity Index and Input oriented CRS data envelopment analysis are being used to measure the productivity of these banks over the years. Along with the productivity of foreign sector banks, their performances were also determined through ratios. The results show that the foreign sector banks has obtained an excellent mean TFP of 1.06 and nine foreign sector banks has obtained an eligible score of one which depicts that foreign sector banks are doing well in the country. The excellent performance of foreign sector banks in the banking industry is further substantiated with the ratios. The study has revealed that by enlarging the scope of foreign banks will obviously bring growth, development and technological advancement in the Indian banking Sector.

Bank efficiency: Evidence from a panel of European banks

2011

The goal of this paper is to investigate the efficiency of the banking systems in eight European countries over the period 1994 to 2008 by using the production frontier methodology. The paper shows that risk factors along with a size variable should be taken into account, otherwise inefficiency tends to be overstated.

The technical efficiency of large bank production

Journal of Banking & Finance, 1996

Significant difficulties in commercial banking in the late 1980s raise questions about bank performance and efficiency. With the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA), we consider the relative technical efficiency of 201 large banks from 1984 to 1990. Bank technical inefficiency averages just over 5 percent, much lower than found in existing estimates. Larger and more profitable banks have higher levels of technical efficiency. At the same time, however, larger banks are more likely to operate under decreasing returns to scale. JEL classification: L21; E44

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Abinet Onkiso for the degree of Master of Science in Economics presented on June 10, 2009. Title: Efficiency and Productivity in U.S. Commercial Banking: A Non-Parametric Approach

2009

approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Victor J. Tremblay In this paper, I estimate efficiency and productivity change in the U.S. banking industry. The data consist of annual observations of 25 banks from 2004 to 2008. The paper follows a two-stage procedure. In the first-stage, utilizing the non-parametric methodologies, input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model and DEA based Malmquist indices are used to estimate the efficiency scores for each bank in the sample. Further, the productivity index is decomposed into technical efficiency and technological change components. In the second-stage, I use Tobit censored regression to determine the impact of ‘environmental’ factors on banks’ efficiency. The results of DEA suggest that U.S. banks experienced an average annual productivity growth of almost 9 percent over the sample period as well as that the dominant source of efficiency is technological change (TC) which shows 10.8 percent...

Assessing the efficiency of foreign banks in Indian context

businessperspectives.org

Since early 1990s, the Indian financial sector has noticed various changes in the policies and prudential norms to raise the banking standards in India to the international intensity. In 1991, financial reforms have taken place which enhanced flexibility, operational autonomy and competition in the banking environment. In 1992, the government constituted a committee under the supervision of Dr. Narasimham. Subsequent on the recommendations, a series of development were commenced. In 1993, the approval was accepted for the entry of new private banks and further in 1994, allowed the entry of foreign banks in banking sector. Hence, the operations of foreign banks (FBs) received a considerable boost after the post reform era. The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) policy for foreign banks has greatly been liberalized which implying new opportunities for growth and different representations in India. The present study makes an attempt to measure the efficiency change of foreign banks operating in India during 2005-2010. By using frontier based non-parametric technique, i.e., DEA, the result exhibits that the efficiency of FBs has shown continuous improvement following the route of deregulation with little drifts.
