Sources of banks’ productivity growth in a developing economy: efficiency change or technological progress? by Sufian, Fadzlan

“…We employ the output-oriented Malmquist productivity index first, proposed by Shephard (1970) to isolate efforts to catch up to the frontier (efficiency change (EFFCH)) from shifts in the frontier (technological change (TECHCH)). We also explore main sources of EFFCH: either improvements in management practices (pure technical efficiency change) or optimal size (scale efficiency change). …”
