This paper examines the efficiency and its relation to profitability in Turkish banking sector by employing Panel Stochastic Frontier Approach. In the post crises period, extensive structural changes have taken place and a great number of new developments have occurred, affecting the efficiency of banking sector. This is the first study that employs panel stochastic frontier approach for banking efficiency in Turkey. In this research, both cost and profit efficiency measures are estimated for the panel data consisting of 32 banks between 2002–2007. Results suggest that there is cost efficiency gain and convergence in the efficiency levels of banks. As another interesting result, foreign banks are less efficient and state banks are more efficient. This paper also analyzes the relation between efficiency and profitability and finds no robust relation between them. However, the bank size matters more for profitability. Santrauka Autoriai nagrinėja Turkijos bankų veiklą, t. y. jų pelningumą bei efektyvumą pokriziniu laikotarpiu. Šis laikotarpis buvo pasirinktas todėl, kad atsirado daug įvairių struktūrinių pokyčių, kurie turėjo įtakos bankininkystės sektoriaus efektyvumui. Tyrimui buvo pasirinkti 32 Turkijoje veikiantys bankai (jų veiklos rodikliai prieš ekonominę krizę ir po jos). Rezultatai rodo, kad Turkijoje veikiančių užsienio komercinių bankų veikla yra mažiau efektyvesnė nei valstybinių. Taip pat autoriai analizuoja bankų veiklos efektyvumo ir pelningumo santykį, tačiau, kaip rodo gauti rezultatai, stipraus ryšio tarp jų nėra.

This paper investigates the profit efficiency of commercial banks where the banking sector has completed more than two decade of changeover from nationalization policy to privatization and restructuring policy by employing stochastic frontier true effect and true random effect models. Intermediation approach has been used to choose input and output variables of banks. A balanced panel data of 22 commercial banks of Pakistan over the period 1995-2014 have been used for the empirical analysis. The paper found that commercial banks are on average 73% profit efficient. However foreign banks report high profit efficiency score followed private domestic banks and then state owned banks. We also compared the cost and profit efficiency of commercial banks and found that commercial banks are more cost efficient than profit efficient.

The paper aims to analyze the productivity and efficiency of banking sector in Nepal. Using systematic random sampling, 20 banks including both commercial and development are selected. The 180 observations of nine year’s panel data from FY 2006/07 to FY 2014/15 has been used. Stochastic Frontier Approach is used taking three input variables i.e. capital, deposit and human resource cost, and one output variable i.e. loans and advance of sampled banks for analysis. The study found that the productivity of human resource, deposit and capital is significant. The joint venture banks are the most efficient than private and Government owned banks. The commercial banks are more efficient than development banks. The study has important implications for the policy makers to take corrective actions for improving the productivity and efficiency of banking sector in Nepal. Keywords: Productivity, Efficiency, Stochastic Frontier approach, Panel data, Banking sector

In this paper we estimate the determinants of cost and profit efficiency of Islamic banks using the stochastic frontier approach SFA. We use 62 Islamic banks in sixteen countries of the MENA and South-East Asia regions during the period 2004-2010. We compare the efficiency between Islamic banks during the subprime crisis phases. Moreover, we examine the variables specific to the banks which can explain the sources of inefficiency and those let us decline the scores of cost and profit efficiency on a specific number of variables (total assets, capital adequacy, profitability, credit risk, operational costs). Results reveal that, Islamic banks in our study are more efficient in the generation of the profits rather than in the control of the costs. Thus, only the total assets and the operational costs represent the determinants of cost efficiency of the Islamic banks. Finally, for the profit efficiency our results indicate that the Islamic banks with high equities and high ratio of profitability are efficient in terms of profit.
