The study applies two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) and bootstrap to estimate the Profit Efficiency (PE) and its factors for Indian bank groups. Recognizing the heterogeneity in the bank sizes, we perform DEA to estimate PE for small, medium, and large banks across different ownership....

In this study, we focus on how banks can enhance their efficiency in the utilization of resources to ensure their economic sustainability. We propose a novel three-stage (production, investment, and revenue generation) network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with bootstrapping to evaluate the...

This paper employs a cross-sectional research design to collect quantitative data for a group of Greek pharmaceutical companies in order to evaluate their credit risk. The data are processed using a variety of quantitative approaches, including series two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA)...

One of the most important ways to boost the health system's performance and lower the rising cost of healthcare is to increase its efficiency. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the MOH in providing public health services and to gauge the progress of health plans in...

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) are instrumental in enabling the economic empowerment of women. We examine the efficiency and performance of 84 Indian MFIs from 2016 to 2018 using a two-stage double bootstrap approach. Our results show that MFIs with increased outreach and actively target...

Efficiency and productivity measurement in the insurance industry has attracted great interest from academicians, practitioners, financial market analysts, insurance regulators, and researchers; however, the near absence of empirical work on the productivity changes of the life insurance...

In this study we examine the potential determinants of technical efficiency for the Tunisian commercial banking sector over the period of 1995-2017. First, we estimate banking technical efficiency with a radial and non-radial bootstrap data envelopment analysis. For the radial technique, we use...

Power generation companies play an important role in the Canadian economy, as most of the economic activities in the manufacturing and service sectors are powered by electricity. The significance of the Canadian power generation industry shows that efficiency analysis is essential for...

This paper examines prediction of U.S. bank failure with a probit model that uses bias-corrected technical efficiency estimated using bootstrap data envelopment analysis as the measure of management quality. The model is tested on a sample of failed and non-failed banks during the sub-prime...

For strategic and competitive insights, this study measures and benchmarks the comparative operating efficiencies of insurance companies in Taiwan and mainland China. We employ the two-stage DEA with the bootstrapped truncated regression approach to examine the overall efficiency of insurance...
