    BACKGROUND

     

    DEA has been demonstrated to be effective for benchmarking in many service industries involving complex input–output relationships. There have been numerous published applications of DEA to measure the efficiency of banks and branch systems. Sherman and Gold presented the first paper that applies DEA to study bank efficiency. It used the classical CCR model to compare operating efficiencies among 14 branch offices of a savings bank. Their claim, that DEA results provide meaningful in  sights not available from other techniques, invited a series of subsequent DEA studies.

     Methodology improvement   

    Two lines of research have emerged around the DEA methodology improvement:1. extending the traditional DEA models and combining DEA models with other advanced operational research methodologies. Examples of extending traditional DEA models include:

    2. Some studies combined other operational research techniques with the DEA model to make the efficiency estimation more accurate and to extend the model’s application scope. Examples include:

    Banks' activities can be divided into:

    • retail banking, dealing directly with individuals and small businesses;
    • business banking, providing services to mid-market business;
    • corporate banking, directed at large business entities;

    • private banking, providing wealth management services to high-net-worth individuals and families;
    • investment banking, relating to activities on the financial markets

       Efficiency measurement models     

    For measuring the efficiency of banks, different authors apply different specifications of DEA model. Diversity of the applied models primarily is determined by various input-output combinations. Generally, there are three main models for evaluating branch performance:
    1. The production model

    This approach views bank branches as producers of services and products using labor and other resources as inputs and providing deposits, loans, and others as outputs. Examples include:
    Measuring the efficiency of service operations—an application to bank branches
    C Parkan
    Engineering Costs and Production Economics, 1987

    • An empirical study on analyzing the productivity of bank branches
    M Oral, O Kettani, R Yolalan
    IIE Transactions, 1992


    2. profitability model
    Profitability analysis is used to assess the ability of a branch to convert its expenses into revenues. Examples of such studies include:
    • Two-stage evaluation of bank branch efficiency using data envelopment analysis
    J.C. Paradi, b. Stephen Rouatt, Zh. Haiyan
    Omega, 2011


    • Evaluating the operational and profitability efficiency of a UAE-based commercial bank
    H.A.H Al-Tamimi, A.M. Lootah
    Journal of Financial Services Marketing, 2007


    3. The intermediary model

    The branch’s intermediary role is mainly used to examine how organizationally efficient the branch is in collecting deposits and other funds from customers (inputs) and then lending the money in various forms of loans, mortgages, and other assets.
    • Cost efficiency, production and value-added models in the analysis of bank branch performance

    Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2010


       Various perspectives of DEA applications in bank branch research   
    1. Branch cost efficiency analysis
    Cost efficiency evaluates the ability of a branch to produce current outputs at minimal cost. It is the result of technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. The measurements require the input and output quantity data as well as the information of input prices at each branch. There are several examples in this research area:
    • Nonparametric frontier models for assessing the market and cost efficiency of large-scale bank branch networks
    AD Athanassopoulos
    Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking, 1998


    • Cost efficiency measurement with price uncertainty: a DEA application to bank branch assessments
    AS Camanho, RG Dyson
    European Journal of Operational Research, 2005


    2. Efficiency ranking

    Bank branch efficiency ranking is one of the interesting research areas in DEA applications. Some studies are:
    • Performance evaluation of commercial bank branches using data envelopment analysis
    B.F. Yavas, D.M. Fisher
    Journal of Business and Management, 2005


    • A complete ranking of DMUs using restrictions in DEA models

    M.R. Alirezaee, M. Afsharian
    Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2007


    3. Branch studies incorporating service quality

    There are mainly two ways to incorporate service quality factors into branch performance analyses, either directly into the DEA model or conducting post-hoc analyses on the relationship between the DEA efficiency scores and the service quality reported.
    • A data envelopment analysis of the operational efficiency of bank branches

    Interfaces,1999


    • An internal customer service quality data envelopment analysis model for bank branches
    A.C Soteriou, Y Stavrinides
    International Journal of Operations and Production Management, 1997


    4. Environments and technology impacts on branch performance
    Traditional DEA models are designed to evaluate the relative efficiencies of production units that operate in similar operating environments, otherwise, the efficiency analysis may lead to an unreliable economic conclusion. The requirement for a homogenous operating environment limits the application of DEA in many real-world cases. Some researchers have noticed this limit and introduced several different strategies to estimate managerial inefficiency by accounting for the exogenous impacts, such as the impacts of locations, market power, regulations, organization, and new technologies. McEachern and Paradi assessed bank branch profitability and productivity across seven national branch networks operated by a multinational financial services corporation.
    • Intra- and inter-country bank branch assessment using DEA
    D. Mc Eachern, J.C. Paradi
    Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2007


    5. Effects of mergers and acquisition on branch performance
    The effects of mergers and acquisitions on branch efficiency have been less intensely investigated. How the efficiency effects of mergers and acquisitions on the branch level differ from the bank merger studies that rely on externally reported financial data on the entire bank’s performance was examined. Only one study has been found applying DEA to this issue. Sherman and Rupert analyzed merger benefits and identified cost savings opportunities based on the comparison of branch operating efficiencies in the merged bank and four pre-merger banks.

    6. Unusual banking applications of DEA

    DEA has also been applied to solve some specific problems. Nash and Sterna-Karwat using DEA measured the effectiveness of cross-selling financial products among 75 bank branches in Australia. Soteriou and Zenios examined the efficiency of bank product costing at the branch level. Their study focused on allocating total branch costs to the product mix offered by the branch and obtaining a reliable set of cost estimates for these products. Stanton investigated the relationship managers’ efficiencies at the branch level in one of Canada’s largest banks. Jablonsky proposed a DEA model for forecasting branch future efficiency bounds based on interval input–output data from the bank management’s pessimistic and optimistic predictions. Wu applied a DEA model as a data filter to create a sub-sample training data set used for neural networks to evaluate branch efficiency.

    KEY PAPERS

    This section introduces key papers in the DEA and banking. These papers have had a significant impact on the DEA and its application in bank performance.

    Bank branch operating efficiency evaluation with data envelopment analysis
    Authors: H. David Sherman and Franklin Gold
    Journal: Journal of Banking and Finance
    Published: 1985

    Abstract: Measuring and evaluating the operating efficiency of bank branches requires analytic techniques that provide insights beyond those available from accounting ratio analysis. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a mathematical programming technique, provides useful insights in locating inefficient branches by explicitly considering the mix of services provided and the resources used to provide these bank services. Bank management finds the DEA results provide meaningful insights not available from other techniques that focus on ways to improve productivity. The results suggest that DEA is a beneficial complement to other techniques for improving bank branch efficiency.

    Authors: H. David Sherman and George Ladino
    Journal: Interfaces
    Published:1995

    Abstract: One bank used data envelopment analysis (DEA) to substantially improve its branch productivity and profits while maintaining service quality. It identified over $6 million of annual expense saving not identifiable with traditional financial and operating ratio analysis in its 33-branch system. A fairly new linear-programming based benchmarking technique, DEA explicitly considers all the resources each branch uses and the services it provides. It compares branches objectively to identify the best-practice branches, the less productive branches, and the changes the less productive branches need to make to reach the best-practice level and to improve their profitability.

    Measuring the efficiency of service operations: an application to bank branches

    The technical efficiency of United States banks
    Authors: Rangan N, Grabowski R, Aly HY, Pasurka C
    Journal: Economics Letters
    Published:1988
    Abstract: The paper uses a non-parametric frontier approach to measure the technical efficiency of a sample of U.S. banks. The results indicate that these banks could have produced the same level of output with only 70% of the inputs actually used. In addition, most of this inefficiency is due to pure technical inefficiency (wasting inputs) rather than scale inefficiency (operating at non-constant returns to scale). Finally, regression analysis indicates that the technical efficiency of the banks is positively related to size, negatively related to product diversity, and not at all related to the extent to which branch banking is allowed.

    A nonparametric approach to measurement of efficiency and technological change: the case of large United States com- mercial banks
    Authors: Elyasiani E, Mehdian SM
    Journal: Journal of Financial Services Research
    Published:1990
    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to derive the efficiency measures and the rate of technological change for a sample of large U.S. commercial banks by employing a non-parametric technique. This technique is used to construct a multi product production frontier relative to which the efficiency measures of the banks in the sample are calculated and the displacement of which over time provides a measure of the rate of technological change. The empirical results indicate that the relevant frontier shifted inward between 1980 and 1985 reflecting a high pace of technological advancement achieved by the banks in the sample. The pace varied significantly across the banks with some banks even regressing over time.

     

    Malmquist indexes of productivity growth during the deregulation of Norwegian banking
    Authors: Berg SA, Forsund FR, Jansen ES
    Journal: Journal of Financial Services Research
    Published:1992
    Abstract: Productivity growth during the deregulation of the Norwegian banking industry is studied within the framework of Data Envelopment Analysis, which explicitly allows for multiple outputs. Introducing Malmquist indices for productivity growth, total growth can be decomposed into frontier growth and change in each bank's distance to the frontier. Both the total growth index and its components can be consistently chained over time. We find productivity regress at the average bank prior to the deregulation, but rapid growth when deregulation took place. Deregulation also led to less dispersion of productivity levels within the industry.

    Banking efficiency in the Nordic countries
    Authors: Berg SA, Forsund FR, Hjalmarsson L, Suominen M
    Journal: Journal of Banking & Finance 1993
    Published:1993
    Abstract: Evidence of the relative competitiveness of the banking industries in three Nordic countries is provided, by applying Data Envelopment Analysis of productivity on the national and the pooled data sets. The analysis produces a detailed account of how well banks from different countries and different sizes may be prepared to meet the more intense competition of a common European banking market.

    DEA/AR profit ratios and sensitivity of 100 large US banks
    Authors: Thompson RG, Brinkmann EJ, Dharmapala PS, GonzalezLima MD, Thrall RM
    Journal: European Journal of Operational Research
    Published:1997
    Abstract: Several important DEA/AR concepts were applied here to banking for the first time. This application includes classification, sensitivity, uniqueness, linked cones (LCs), and profit ratios. Notably, large bank behavior seems to be explained better by profit ratios than by relative efficiency. Measures of DEA efficiency, AR efficiency, and LC profit ratios were made for a bank panel of the U.S.'s 100 largest banks in asset size from 1986 to 1991. High levels of inefficiency were found, as in previous studies. Classification of the DEA efficiency measures identified the inefficient DMUs with some positive primal slacks. Sensitivity analysis of the DEA efficiency measures showed that the extreme-efficient classification was generally relatively insensitive to errors in the data. The ARs eliminated (i) 44% to 60% of the DEA-extreme-efficient DMUs and (ii) all of the banks with unprofitable actual profit ratios. Some statistical analyses highlight the superiority of the LC profit ratios, relative to the AR efficiency measures.

    Efficiency of financial institutions: international survey and directions for future research
    Authors:
    Berger AN, Humphrey DB
    Journal: European Journal of Operational Research
    Published:1997
    Abstract: This paper surveys 130 studies that apply frontier efficiency analysis to financial institutions in 21 countries. The primary goals are to summarize and critically review empirical estimates of financial institution efficiency and to attempt to arrive at a consensus view. We find that the various efficiency methods do not necessarily yield consistent results and suggest some ways that these methods might be improved to bring about findings that are more consistent, accurate, and useful. Secondary goals are to address the implications of efficiency results for financial institutions in the areas of government policy, research, and managerial performance. Areas needing additional research are also outlined.

    Profit ability and market ability of the top 55 US commercial banks
    Authors: Seiford LM, Zhu J
    Journal: Management Science
    Published:1999
    Abstract: Utilizing recent developments in data envelopment analysis (DEA), this paper examines the performance of the top 55 U.S. commercial banks via a two-stage production process that separates profitability and marketability. Substantial performance inefficiency is uncovered in both dimensions. Relatively large banks exhibit better performance on profitability, whereas smaller banks tend to perform better with respect to marketability. New context-dependent performance measures are defined for profitability and marketability which employ a DEA stratification model and a DEA attractiveness measure. When combined with the original DEA measure, the context-dependent performance measure better characterizes the profitability and marketability of 55 U.S. commercial banks. The new approach identifies areas for improved bank performance over the two-stage production process. The effect of acquisition on efficiency and attractiveness is also examined.

    Evaluating the profit ability and market ability efficiency of large banks—an application of data envelopment analysis
    Authors: Luo XM
    Journal: Journal of Business Research
    Published: 2003
    Abstract: Banking efficiency literature mostly addressed profitability efficiency (activities generating more profits for a bank), ignoring marketability efficiency (activities generating more market value). Applying a nonparametric frontier method—data envelopment analysis (DEA)—with a sample of 245 large banks, this study provides evidence that current large banks acquire relatively lower level of marketability efficiency. There are 34 (about 14%) banks that obtain higher level of profitability performance but lower level of marketability performance. Results also indicate that the geographical location of banks seems not related to either the profitability or marketability efficiency. Finally, overall technical efficiency (OTE) of the profitability performance can predict the likelihood of bank failures.

    Does size matter? Finding the profit ability and market ability benchmark of financial holding companies
    Authors: Lo SF, Lu WM
    Journal: Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research
    Published:2006
    Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the efficiency and the benchmarks of financial holding companies (FHCs) for a small open economy, Taiwan. We employ a two-stage production process including profitability and marketability performance using a non-parametric frontier method — data envelopment analysis (DEA). Furthermore, the factor-specific measure and BCC (Banker–Charnes–Cooper) model are combined together not only to identify the inputs/outputs that are most important but also to distinguish those FHCs which can be treated as benchmarks. Our empirical result shows that (1) big-sized FHCs are generally more efficient than small-sized ones; (2) FHCs with the main body of insurance averagely perform better than the other two types (banks and securities); (3) while small efficient FHCs are easily to become benchmarks, big efficient FHCs are deemed as competitive niche players; (4) further mergers and acquisitions among FHCs should be considered so as to achieve economies of scale. The profitability/marketability matrix of FHCs is also presented.

    Two-stage evaluation of bank branch efficiency using data envelopment analysis
    Authors: Joseph C., Paradi a, Stephen Rouatt b, Haiyan Zhu
    Journal: Omega
    Published: 2011
    Abstract: There are two key motivations for this paper: (1) the need to respond to the often observed rejections of efficiency studies’ results by management as they claim that a single-perspective evaluation cannot fully reflect the operating units’ multi-function nature; and (2) a detailed bank branch performance assessment that is acceptable to both line managers and senior executives is still needed. In this context, a two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis approach is developed for simultaneously benchmarking the performance of operating units along different dimensions (for line managers) and a modified Slacks-Based Measure model is applied for the first time to aggregate the obtained efficiency scores from stage one and generate a composite performance index for each unit. This approach is illustrated by using the data from a major Canadian bank with 816 branches operating across the nation. Three important branch performance dimensions are evaluated: Production, Profitability, and Intermediation. This approach improves the reality of the performance assessment method and enables branch managers to clearly identify the strengths and weaknesses in their operations. Branch scale efficiency and the impacts of geographic location and market size on branch performance are also investigated. This multi-dimensional performance evaluation approach may improve management acceptance of the practical applications of DEA in real businesses.

    Why European banks are less profitable than U.S. banks: A decomposition approach
    Authors: Guohua Feng, Chuan Wang
    Journal: Journal of Banking and Finance
    Published: 2018
    Abstract: The low profitability of European banks relative to their U.S. counterparts has recently raised concerns among policy makers and researchers. This paper attempts to shed light on this issue by using the O’Donnell (2012) decomposition approach. This approach enables us to decompose the relative profitability of European banks into an output–input price index and a total factor productivity index, with the former further decomposed into two price indexes and the latter further into four productivity and efficiency measures. Our results show that European banks’ profitability was not only weak, but also deteriorated over time. Our further analysis shows that the decline in the output–input price index was due to declines in relative lending rate and relative return on securities and an increase in funding costs, while the decline in the productivity index was driven by declines in technical efficiency, scale efficiency, and residual mix efficiency.

    Chinese bank efficiency during the global financial crisis: A combined approach using satisficing DEA and Support Vector Machines
    Authors: Zhong fei Chen, Roman Matousek, Peter Wanke
    Journal: The North American Journal of Economics and Finance
    Published: 2018

    Abstract: The paper examines Chinese bank efficiency with a unique sample of 127 banks during the peak period of the global financial crisis. We apply an innovative Data Envelopment Analysis method under a stochastic environment. In the first stage, within the ambit of the satisficing Data Envelopment Analysis model, the probabilities of achieving a minimal performance threshold are computed in a stochastic way. In the second subsequent stage, Support Vector Machine regression is applied to discriminate between high/low efficiency groups within each performance threshold. The results reveal that the overall efficiency level of the Chinese banks remains still low. This is considerably determined by the contextual variables of the ownership structure and cost structure of the Chinese banks. Policy implications are derived how to improve the corporate governance and credit allocation.

    Two-stage DEA-Truncated Regression: Application in Banking Efficiency and Financial Development
    Authors: Filipa Da Silva Fernandes, Charalampos Stasinakis, Valeriya Bardarova
    Journal: Expert System With Applications
    Published: 2018
    Abstract: This study evaluates the efficiency of peripheral European domestic banks and examines the effects of bank-risk determinants on their performance over 2007-2014. Data Envelopment Analysis is utilized on a Malmquist Productivity Index in order to calculate the bank efficiency scores. Next, a Double Bootstrapped Truncated Regression is applied to obtain bias-corrected scores and examine whether changes in the financial conditions affect differently banks‟ efficiency levels. The analysis accounts for the sovereign debt crisis period and for different levels of financial development in the countries under study. Such an application in the respective European banking setting is unique. The proposed method also copes with common misspecification problems observed in regression models based on efficiency scores. The results have important policy implications for the Euro area, as they indicate the existence of a periphery efficiency meta-frontier. Liquidity and credit risk are found to negatively affect banks productivity, whereas capital and profit risk have a positive impact on their performance. The crisis period is found to augment these effects, while bank-risk variables affect more banks' efficiency when lower levels of financial development are observed.
