Abstract
This study proposes a new efficiency measurement technique CDS as combination of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and compares the CDS efficiency score with the DEA and SFA efficiency scores. The financial companies listed in Malaysian Stock Exchange for the period 2007-2016 are used to estimate the different types of efficiency score. Besides, linear regression analysis and ULFR (unreplicated linear functional relationship) analysis are used to analyze the performance of this CDS technique with the DEA and SFA techniques. The result suggests that the most efficient model is CDS which has a significant positive correlation with profit risk. Among the CDS, DEA and SFA techniques, the recommended technique (CDS) shows higher coefficient of determination values for both ULFR (0.9994) and linear regression (0.292) analysis. Also, based on the results of CDS, this study postulates that the most efficient firm is ACSM (Aeon Credit Service (M) Bhd) and the least efficient firm is MAY (Malayan Banking Bhd).
期刊介绍:
The Business and Economic Horizons (BEH) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high quality theoretical, empirical, and review papers covering the broad spectrum of research in areas of economics, business, management, and finance. The journal aim is to bridge the gap between the theory and the observed data in these constantly developing domains. BEH Editorial Board welcomes the high-quality original research articles and review papers that verify the well-grounded and the emerging theories by employing the econometric, statistical methods or other relevant empirical methods in theoretical and applied economic analysis. BEH does not discriminate articles utilizing the non-mainstream approaches such as experimental research, institutional analysis, other variations of heterodox and developmental economic studies. Therefore, the submissions in any field of micro- and macroeconomics, business ethics, economic policy or finance are appropriate for this journal. We hope, the provided contributions will help to understand the contemporary challenges faced by the private and public sector and will establish an international forum of empirical research.
