Trevor Fitzpatrick and Kieran McQuinn

No 3/RT/04, Research Technical Papers from Central Bank of Ireland

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 oobtained using the two most popular methods of efficiency measurement - data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the stochastic frontiers approach.
