Efficiency in the Slovak banking industry: a comparison of three approaches = Efektívnosť slovenského bankového priemyslu: porovnanie troch prístupov / Martin Boďa, Emília Zimková. -- The paper emphasizes that any approach to defi ning technical effi ciency in banking is just a diff erent outlook on manifold goals and functions that commercial banks pursue. Three commonly applied approaches, i.e. the service-oriented approach, the intermediation approach and the profi toriented approach, are not in confl ict but are complementary in providing information on how commercial banks perform in fi nancial intermediation, provision of banking services and profi t seeking. In addition to the methodological contribution of the paper, it investigates the effi ciency of the Slovak banking industry over the years 2000–2011 so as to fi nd whether employment of a specifi c approach changes the view on effi ciency of individual commercial banks. To this end, the non-parametric method of evaluation is employed based on the slack-based measure model of data envelopment analysis. The results suggest that general impressions of the effi ciency status of individual banks as obtained within the three approaches are similar in most cases
