A chapter in Advances in Efficiency and Productivity Analysis, 2021, pp 233-264 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the performance of U.S. bank holding companies before, during, and after the 2007–2012 financial crisis. Fully nonparametric methods are used to estimate technical, cost, and input allocative efficiencies. Recently developed statistical results are used to test for changes in efficiencies as well as productivity over time, and to test for changes in technology over time. I find evidence of non-convexity of banks’ production set is found. In addition, the data reveal that mean technical efficiency declined during the financial crisis, but recovered in the years after, ending higher in 2016 than in 2006, while both cost and input allocative efficiencies declined from 2006 to 2016. Statistical tests indicate that technology shifted downward throughout the period 2006–2016.
