The factors determining foreign bank efficiency are investigated using a three stage research method. It is found that host market incumbency reduces efficiency of foreign banks in Australia, resulting in over use of inputs. Factors underlying the limited global advantage hypothesis of Berger,...

This article presents multi-output, multi-input total factor productivity (TFP) growth rates in agriculture for 88 countries over the 1970–2001 period, estimated with both stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and the more commonly employed data envelopment analysis (DEA). We find results with...

We study, using the non-parametric data envelopment approach,we investigated the long-run profit efficiency dynamics and theshort-run market reaction of nine pre-classified merger deals ofmerging and non-merging U.S. banks over the time period from1992 to 2003. Our main results are as follows:...
