Abstract: This paper attempts to analyse the productivity and efficiency growth pattern of Indian banking industry during the post-liberalisation era. Malmquist data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been used to estimate the different performance measures viz., productivity growth, technological change, technical efficiency and scale efficiency for the period 1996-2006. Results indicate that during the study period, this industry experienced regress in technological progress along with stagnation in technical efficiency. Some progress is reported in scale economies but the dominating technological regress resulted in productivity decline. From the group wise analysis, nationalised sector came out to be the leader in case of scale economies whereas private sector emerged as the best performer in technical efficiency. None of the groups could experience positive productivity growth over the study period.

Keywords: Malmquist DEA; data envelopment analysis; technical efficiency; scale efficiency; total factor productivity; TFP; banking industry; India; technological change; economies of scale; privatisation; Indian banks. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
