Productivity Change in European Banking: a Comparison of Parametric and Non-parametric Approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper compares parametric and non-parametric estimates of productivity change in European banking between 1994 and 2000. Productivity growth has also been further decomposed into technological change, or change in best practice, and efficiency change. Both the parametric and non-parametric approaches consistently identify those systems that have benefited most (and least) from productivity change during the 1990’s. The results also suggest that (where found) productivity growth has mainly been brought about by improvements in the performance of best practice banks and there does not appear to have been ‘catch-up’ by non best-practice institutions. However, both approaches reveal a decreasing trend in the performance of best practice banks towards the end of the 1990s. In general, the findings reported in this paper illustrate that different methodologies can help corroborate productivity change estimates for European banking. JEL classification: G21; D24.

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is the most common index for drought monitoring. Although the calculation of this index is usually done by using the gamma distribution fitting of precipitation data, studies have shown that for accurate monitoring of drought, the optimal distribution of precipitation in each month should be determined. On the other hand, in non-stationary time series,...
