On the efficiency of the Malaysian banking sector: a risk-return perspective by Sufian, Fadzlan, Haron, Razali

“…The results also suggest that all the banks which have managed to appear on the efficiency frontier are mainly based on the relatively higher mean returns rather than lower standard deviations and/or beta. The approach used in this paper could also be used to other economic sectors, as well as from a multiple countries perspective as this approach allows the comparison of different countries, which have different accounting rules and are not comparable by using standard models. …”
