Abstract
The aim of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of three environmental approaches in the context of a bank production framework, considering the presence of nonperforming loans (NPLs). Specifically, we examine banks' inefficiency levels using the "by-production technology," "joint-weak disposable technology," and "material balanced technology." To ensure comparability within a directional slack inefficiency framework, we propose a two-step procedure. The study is based on a sample of 379 prominent banks operating in the United States from 2003 to 2017. Our findings reveal that the material balance and by-production technologies result in estimated inefficiency measures with higher sensitivity compared to the estimator utilizing the joint-weak disposable technology. Additionally, we identify distinct properties among the estimators, emphasizing their unique characteristics for modeling nonperforming loans. Finally, our paper sheds light on the differences between the three estimators in relation to banks' inefficiency levels, considering the incorporation of nonperforming loans in the production process.
期刊介绍:
Omega reports on developments in management, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of management, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. Other features of the journal are the "Memoranda" section for short communications and "Feedback", a correspondence column. Omega is both stimulating reading and an important source for practising managers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students and research personnel throughout the world. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner which makes it accessible to all of this wide-ranging readership. Preference will be given to papers with implications to the practice of management. Submissions of purely theoretical papers are discouraged. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
