“…To our knowledge, there are only two academic papers that directly investigate the effects of IT in the banking industry, and both of them use data from case studies 3 Parsons et al (1993). estimate a cost function using data from a large Canadian bank over the period 1974–1987 and find a weak but significant correlation between productivity growth and the use of computers.…”

This paper analyses the effects of investment in information technologies (IT) in the financial sector using micro-data from a panel of 600 Italian banks over the period 1989-2000. Stochastic cost and profit functions are estimated allowing for individual banks' displacements from the best practice frontier and for non-neutral technological change. The results show that both cost and profit frontier shifts are strongly correlated with IT capital accumulation. Banks adopting IT capital-intensive techniques are also more efficient. On the whole, over the past decade IT capital-deepening contribution to total factor productivity growth of the Italian banking industry can be estimated in a range between 1.3 and 1.8 per cent per year.

“…His quip that ''the computer age is everywhere but in the productivity statistics'' [53] might apply to other advanced economies as well. Much of the early research of the 1970s and 1980s also indicated the negative effects of computers on productivity [2,51,55,49,46,50].…”

“…Reference [7] and [8] found that one sixth of the output growth or 2.4% was due to computer output via capital deepening. However, [9] and [10] found otherwise. Reference [11] in his study of the service sector in Malaysia using 1983Malaysia using -2001 data found that ICT did not affect productivity positively but claimed it could possibly due to insufficient data available.…”

This paper attempts to identify the significance of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and intellectual human capital to the profit efficiency of commercial banks in Malaysia. The profit efficiency of commercial banks in Malaysia was estimated using the Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) on a sample of unbalanced panel data, covering 23 commercial banks, between 1995 to 2009. Based on the empirical results, both ICT and non ICT stock expenditure were found to exert significant positive impact on profit inefficiency, whereas intellectual human capital, size and ownership were negatively significant contributors.
