Cost efficiency of Slovak commercial banks under the standpoint of the production approach

Zimková, Emília, 1964- Cost efficiency of Slovak commercial banks under the standpoint of the production approach = Nákladová efektívnosť slovenských komerčných bánk - produkčný prístup / Emília Zimková, Martin Boďa. -- The paper evaluates the cost efficiency in the Slovak banking sector as attained by individual commercial banks in 2012 using the non-parametric method of data envelopment analysis if the production approach is adopted to describe banking behaviour. The cost-efficiency scheme applied with the qualification of different exogenously given unit costs for individual banks and under the input-oriented treatment of technical efficiency in a variable-returns-toscale environment showed that a total of six commercial banks had been in 2012 successful in production of banking services, in which they delivered both full technical and full allocative efficiency. The efficiency how individual Slovak commercial banks utilized resources in their provision of depository and creditory services was decomposed into a technical component and into an allocative component, and the sources of efficiency of individual commercial banks were evaluated on the basis of this decomposition. This decomposition revealed that inefficiency, if any, in the Slovak banking sector stemmed in 2012 principally from technical incapacity in transformation process to secure the given level of outputs at lower consumption or use of inputs
