Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of three environmental approaches in the context of a bank production framework, considering the presence of nonperforming loans (NPLs). Specifically, we examine banks' inefficiency levels using the "by-production technology," "joint-weak disposable technology," and "material balanced technology." To ensure comparability within a directional slack inefficiency framework, we propose a two-step procedure. The study is based on a sample of 379 prominent banks operating in the United States from 2003 to 2017. Our findings reveal that the material balance and by-production technologies result in estimated inefficiency measures with higher sensitivity compared to the estimator utilizing the joint-weak disposable technology. Additionally, we identify distinct properties among the estimators, emphasizing their unique characteristics for modeling nonperforming loans. Finally, our paper sheds light on the differences between the three estimators in relation to banks' inefficiency levels, considering the incorporation of nonperforming loans in the production process.
