Evaluating the effectiveness of China's financial reform—The efficiency of China's domestic banks

Abstract: This paper estimates the cost and profit efficiency of the Chinese domestic banking sector to evaluate the effectiveness of China's financial reforms since 1978. We use the performance of foreign banks as the benchmark because foreign banks, subject to intensive worldwide competition, are perceived as possessing superior governing structure and organization, more advanced technologies and better trained labor force. On the other hand, competition in China's banking sector is mainly in the form of nonprice meas… Show more

“…We observed that the Chinese banks are operating at a very high level of cost efficiency with an average CE value of 0.982. This result agreed with the findings of Hsiao et al [22], which indicated that the cost efficiency of Chinese banks had been converging and getting closer to one by the end of 2012. As our sample period was from 2013 to 2018, it is no wonder that the high CEs of Chinese banks were noticed.…”

“…For instance, Lin et al [20] found that the competition from foreign banks promote efficiency of domestic banks, while Fungáčová et al [21] concluded that the increase of competition has no significant relationship with the efficiency of Chinese banks. Other studies mainly focused on the influence of financial reforms [22], risk preference [23,24] and bank ownership types [25,26] on efficiency of Chinese banks. Evidence showed that financial reforms and risk taking were both key determinants that affected efficiency of Chinese banks.…”

“…Therefore, the variables that are not explained by this model are often considered as exceptions to the majority of stocks. Traditionally, financial economists believe that micro-investors are not entirely rational and often act as noisy traders, while they view institutions as well-known and complex investors [6][7][8].…”

“…Financial ratios provide useful information for evaluating bank performance and efficiency. The basic financial ratios related to efficiency are return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) (Chao, Yu, & Wu, 2015;Svitalkova, 2014;Titko & Jureviciene, 2014;Lee & Kim, 2013). Although in most cases the variables encompass assets quality, capital strength, earnings, and liquidity, the number of variables included in research may differ significantly in the literature (Fethi & Pasiouras, 2010).…”
