Re-Examining the Technical Efficiency of Australian Banks: A Bootstrap DEA Approach حسب Moradi-Motlagh, Amir

"…The aim is to improve the choice of variables of the core profit efficiency model which is commonly used in earlier Australian banking efficiency studies. After we introduce the "interest income" over "net interest income" variable in the core profit efficiency model, the proportion of fully pure technical efficient banks decreased to 23% which is significantly lower than 81% which was reported in a recent study. …"
