Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) evaluation of 46 banks including 26 US and 21 Australian banks. System differentiated DEA model is applied. For the first stage of the analysis the efficiency scores are calculated for all the involved US and Australian banks. In the second stage, the environmental variables are identified and statistical analysis is ran to verify the impact of environmental variables on banking efficiency. The contribution is to investigate the unseen causes of inefficiencies in relation to environmental variables and their impact on banking efficiency. The environmental factors in this research allow us to analyze the effects of each factor in one country and compare it against the other. The recommendations and remarkable results show that in general Australian banks had higher average efficiencies compared to their US counterparts.
