Labour Cost Efficiency in UK and Irish Credit Institutions

Trevor Fitzpatrick and Kieran McQuinn

The Economic and Social Review, 2005, vol. 36, issue 1, 45–66

Abstract: This paper presents aggregated cost efficiency scores for a balanced panel of British and Irish credit institutions and relates these scores to loan loss reserves as a first step in investigating their usefulness as possible indicators of financial fragility. The efficiency scores are obtained using the two most popular methods of efficiency measurement – data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the stochastic frontiers approach.
