This book examines, using DEA, the productivity performance trends
of the Indian commercial banks for the post transition period: 1997
- 2001. Our broad empirical findings are indicative in many ways.
First, the increasing average annual trends in technical efficiency
for all ownership groups indicate an affirmative gesture about the
effect of the reform process on the performance of the Indian
banking sector. Second, the higher cost efficiency accrual of
private banks over nationalized banks indicate that nationalized
banks, though old, do not reflect their learning experience in
their cost minimizing behavior due to inefficiency factors arising
from government ownership. This finding also highlights the
possible stronger disciplining role played by the capital market
indicating a strong link between market for corporate control and
efficiency of private enterprise assumed by property right
hypothesis. And, finally, concerning the scale elasticity behavior,
the technology and market-based results differ significantly
supporting the empirical distinction between returns to scale and
economies of scale, often used interchangeably in the literature.
