Sources of banks’ productivity growth in a developing economy: efficiency change or technological progress?

Sources of banks’ productivity growth in a developing economy: efficiency change or technological progress?

This paper examines the sources of total factor productivity in the Thailand banking sector during 1999–2008. We employ the output-oriented Malmquist productivity index first, proposed by Shephard (1970) to isolate efforts to catch up to the frontier (efficiency change (EFFCH)) from shifts in the fr...
