JT00188147 OECD STATISTICS WORKING PAPER SERIESThe OECD Statistics Working Paper Series -managed by the OECD Statistics Directorate -is designed to make available in a timely fashion and to a wider readership selected studies prepared by staff in the Secretariat or by outside consultants working on OECD projects. The papers included are of a technical, methodological or statistical policy nature and relate to statistical work relevant to the organisation. The Working Papers are generally available only in their original language -English or French -with a summary in the other.Comments on the papers are welcome and should be communicated to the authors or to the OECD Statistics Directorate, 2 rue André Pascal, 75775 Paris Cedex 16, France.The opinions expressed in these papers are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the OECD or of the governments of its Member countries.http://www.oecd.org/std/research STD/DOC(2005)3 3 ABSTRACTThis Handbook aims to provide a guide for constructing and using composite indicators for policy makers, academics, the media and other interested parties. While there are several types of composite indicators, this Handbook is concerned with those which compare and rank country performance in areas such as industrial competitiveness, sustainable development, globalisation and innovation. The Handbook aims to contribute to a better understanding of the complexity of composite indicators and to an improvement of the techniques currently used to build them. In particular, it contains a set of technical guidelines that can help constructors of composite indicators to improve the quality of their outputs.

“…Mahlberg and Obersteiner (2001) and Depotis (2004) developed an input-oriented DEA-like model which treats all factors as outputs, while input is a dummy variable Due to the fact that some countries can have the same scores in this DSW model, a super efficiency DEA model (Zhu, 2001) is also ran to determine the ranking order of the researched countries, makes it easier to compare the effectiveness's of the banking systems between countries.…”

The current crisis has revealed the weaknesses of the global financial in general and its banking system in particular, and puts forward a requirement for assessing the effectiveness and stability of the banking sectors across countries.Based on available data from 64 countries over the world, the author tried to evaluate the effectiveness of the banking sectors in those countries through the view point of the data envelopment analysis approach to define how the global banking systems is under the effect of the current crisis. Findings from the research showed that banking systems in advanced economies are still more effective than in developing countries. Moreover, it explained the effect of the current financial crisis, the role of public finance (and the government), and the development of the (privately) commercial banks to the effectiveness of the banking sectors. The research also explained some determinants that can affect the effectiveness of the banking system, including inflation, bank concentration, and level of economic development.

“…This BoD approach put forwarded by Lovell and Pastor (1999) was firstly used to recalculate HDI by Mahlberg and Obersteiner (2001). Afterward, the advances in the BoD approach were presented by De Witte et al (2013) and Färe and Karagiannis (2014).…”
