Abstract: Abstract This study adopt fixed assets, SG&A (selling, general and administrative expenses) and interest expenses as input factors, use the amounts of loans and revenues as output factors, and employ Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the efficiency performance and relative efficiency of commercial banks according to Farrell’s efficiency evaluation theory. We group all sample commercial banks into three categories, namely “Old Commercial Banks”, “New Commercial Banks” and “Commercial Banks Upgraded from Credit Cooperatives” and evaluate the efficiency of commercial banks, including overall efficiency, overall technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, scale efficiency, and allocation efficiency. The empirical results find that the “Old Commercial Banks” possess highest efficiency value than the other two groups. Besides, the “Old Commercial Banks” also have the highest overall technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. It implies that the “Old Commercial Banks” is doing well in competing with the new entrants, which makes them keep better efficiency than both the “New Commercial Banks” and the “Commercial Banks Upgraded from Credit Cooperatives”.
