Determinants of bank technical efficiency: Evidence from commercial banks in Ethiopia

The main objective of this study is to examine the determinants of the technical efficiency of commercial banks in Ethiopia over the period from 2011 to 2014. For this purpose, the study used secondary data from the annual reports of the commercial banks in Ethiopia under study. To estimate the tech...

To estimate the technical efficiency score DEA was employed on input variables (interest expense, operating expense and deposit) and output variables (interest income, non-interest income and loan).
