This paper empirically investigates the x-eciency (technical and allocative) in Australian banks. A non-parametric method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been used to arrive at the eciency scores. Banks in this sample were found to have low levels of overall eciency compared with the banks in the European countries and in the US. The results indicate that, as a source of overall inec...

Banks continue to di er in many ways, for instance with respect to business models, growth strategies, or nancial health. Neglecting these di erences confuses ine ciency with heterogeneity while sub-sample estimation prohibits e ciency comparisons across di erent samples. We use a latent class stochastic frontier model to estimate simultaneously multiple technology regimes and group membership ...

The aim of this paper is to examine whether herd behavior exists or not between di®erent types of Japanese banks. Using data of loans outstanding by types of banks from 1980 to 2000, we investigate statistical causality between loans from di®erent types of banks in Japan. Time-series analysis manifested the causality from city banks to regional banks, from long-term credit banks to city banks, ...

The 'quiet life hypothesis (QLH)' posits that banks enjoy the advantages of market power in terms of foregone revenues or cost savings. We suggest a uni ed approach to measure competition and e ciency simultaneously to test this hypothesis. We estimate bank-speci c Lerner indices as measures of competition and test if cost and pro t e ciency are negatively related to market power in the case of...

Banks began to look at e-banking as a means to replace some of their traditional branch functions. e-banking products/services like ATM and electronic funds transfer were a source of di...

Biorthogonal modulated "lter banks, when compared to paraunitary ones, provide the advantage that the overall system delay can be chosen independently of the "lter length, thus allowing to design low delay "lter banks. They have recently been studied by several authors. In this paper, we connect two di!erent design methods, namely the quadratic constrained least-squares optimization and the pri...
