Efficiency and Ownership: Evidence from Japanese Credit Cooperatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to estimate the overall efficiency and productivity growth of credit cooperatives in Japan during 1992–1996. Overall efficiency is decomposed into output technical efficiency and input allocative efficiency. Twenty percent of all credit cooperatives in Japan are foreign owned with more than 90% of those owned by Koreans. The history of institutional discrimination against Koreans in Japan suggests that ownership might affect efficiency. The empirical findings suggest that foreign-owned cooperatives are more efficient and experienced greater productivity growth during the period. © 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
