The nationalization of banks in 1974 improved the financial ӏ sector in many ways. The efficiency of the sector was compromised due to political ӏ influence; over-branching and overstaffing that affected the banking industry. In 1990s many reforms were made in the banking sector to address the problems that existed in the nationalized banking system. The public sector’s ownership of commercial banks had created lot of problems (political intervention in credit allocation, loan recovery and deterioration in services quality). This study evaluated the efficiency of domestic and foreign banks for the period 2010-2016. DEA was used to explore the scale, technical, pure technical and scale efficiency of the domestic and foreign banks. The ӏ east efficient banks are Bank Alfalah, Nationa ӏ Bank, Askari Bank and Standard chartered in terms of scale efficiency. Technical ӏ efficiency scores demonstrate that A ӏӏ ied Bank, Askari bank, National ӏ Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank Alfalah did not perform efficiently whereas other banks of the sample did well. Pure technical ӏ efficiency scores under both orientations reveal that in 2010 and 2015, a ӏӏ banks showed a perfect pure technical ӏ efficiency score of 1.00. Both domestic and foreign banks performance is mixed. Domestic banks are not less efficient in terms of all efficiencies than foreign banks. Both banks need attention to managerial ӏ aspects and efficient utilization of technology in their operations. Sound macroeconomic policies may also help in improving the efficiency of banks.","PeriodicalId":360581,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics and Empirical Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127722854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper used the extended Cobb-Douglas production function, where R&D expenditure is included as one of the factor inputs, just like labour and capital. The study employs the fixed effects method for the panel data analysis and found R&D coefficient of 0.07, significant at 1%. The finding implies that, consistent with previous papers done for the UK manufacturing sector, R&D expenditure still has a positive relationship with productivity growth at panel industry level. However, the estimate 0.07 lends support to the argument of small coefficient for R&D, unlike other papers arguing for higher coefficient. Thus, we align with the argument that R&D has a small positive impact on productivity growth. Theoretical implication of this finding is that technological advancement which contributes to productivity growth is not exogenous; it can be determined by R&D decisions in firms and in industries. Thus, policy recommendation of this research is for the UK government to provide incentives to increase innovation in the UK manufacturing industries by increasing research grants and subsidies given to firms. Finaly, evidence from the result of this paper has shown that firms who wish to increase labour productivity should include R&D investment as one of their strategies.","PeriodicalId":360581,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics and Empirical Research","volume":"312 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121831694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
