Bank efficiency in the new European Union member states: Is there convergence?
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 00:01 authored by Emmanuel Mamatzakis, Christos Staikouras, Anastasia Koutsomanoli-FilippakiWe employ the stochastic frontier approach and estimate a common frontier in order to examine cost and profit efficiency in the banking systems of the ten new European Union member states over the period 19982003. The results indicate a generally low level of cost and an even lower level of profit efficiency, whilst we do not observe marked differences of inefficiency scores across countries. Foreign banks outperform both state-owned and domestic private-owned banks in terms of profit efficiency, though results are less clear in the case of cost efficiency. In addition, - and -convergence criteria indicate some convergence in cost efficiency across the new member states, yet no convergence appears to have been achieved in terms of profit efficiency.
