Efficiency Research of Chinese Commercial Banks Based on Super-Efficiency DEA Method

Abstract

This paper tries to analyze Chinese three types of bank’s efficiency changes and differences, after the financial crisis, through the integrated use of DEA and super efficiency DEA method. The re- sults show that: the efficiency of Chinese commercial Banks in general is on the rise, the compre- hensive technical efficiency growth stems mainly from scale efficiency improvement, pure tech- nical efficiency is stagnant, and scale efficiency presents convergence among all kinds of banks, while the technical level is the core strength of banks’ current and future competition. State- owned banks with the technology competitive advantage and scale efficiency improved, began to catch up with other banks, reversed the operational inefficiency; City commercial banks due to the system advantage were more easily to be in the efficient production frontier surface.
