Abstract: In this paper we discuss cost and pro¯t e±ciency for a sample of ¯nancial institutions on the Colombian ¯nancial market in the period 1989-2003, using stochastic frontier e±ciency analysis. During the pe- riod, the cost e±cient frontier deteriorates, but pro¯t e±cient frontier is relatively stable. We found signi¯cant di®erence when we compare the e±ciency scores between types of ¯nancial intermediaries. Addi- tionally, our analysis show that the scores for pro¯t and cost e±ciency have di®erent distribution. We found big di®erences between pro¯t and cost e±ciency among the di®erent type banks. This is evidence in favor of some banks behaving collusively and capturing oligopoly rents.
