An authoritative introduction to efficiency and productivity analysis with applications in both the banking and finance industry
In light of the recent global financial crisis, several studies have examined the efficiency of financial institutions. A number of open questions remain and this book reviews recent issues and state-of-the-art techniques in the assessment of the efficiency and productivity of financial institutions.
