A Cobb Douglas Stochastic Frontier Model on Measuring Domestic Bank Efficiency in Malaysia

Abstract: Banking system plays an important role in the economic development of any country. Domestic banks, which are the main components of the banking system, have to be efficient; otherwise, they may create obstacle in the process of development in any economy. This study examines the technical efficiency of the Malaysian domestic banks listed in the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) market over the period 2005–2010. A parametric approach, Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA), is used in this analysis. The findings s… Show more

“…Using SFA to measure the technical efficiency, Mohd Tahir, Abu Bakar and Haron (2008) found that the technical efficiency of commercial banks was high in the 2000-2006 period (around 81%). The findings were supported by Hasan et al (2012) who found the technical efficiency of domestic banks were higher than the previous findings (around 94%) over the period 2005-2010. There were also studies conducted to analyse the Islamic and conventional banks (Abdul-Majid, Saal & Battisti 2011; Ahmad Mokhtar, Abdullah & Al-Habshi 2006).…”

“…But in terms of cost, international banks are the most efficient. Tahir and Haron (2008) used stochastic frontier analysis to estimate 22 conventional banks (9 domestic banks and 13 foreign banks) in Malaysia from consistent with Hasan et al (2012), which found that conventional bank's technical efficiency in Malaysia was 94 percent in 2005 until 2010. In addition, Tahir and Haron (2008) found that domestic banks are more efficient than foreign banks.…”

“…Over the last few years, there have been many empirical studies measuring the technical efficiency of banking industry with stochastic frontier analysis. Some of these studies are by Bhattacharyya and Pal (2013), Hasan et al (2012), Hosen and Muharri (2013), Ngan (2014), Tahir and Haron (2008) and Zuhroh et al (2015).…”

“…The concept of efficiency is related to the measurement of an output for a given level of input, and this concept can be applied to banking operations (Saha & Ravisankar, 2000). In this sense, an efficient bank is one that obtains maximum levels of output for a given level of input, or one that is able to minimize the inputs used for a given level of output (Hasan, Kamil, Mustafa, & Baten, 2012).…”
