What Causes the Efficiency and the Technology Gap Under Different Ownership Structures in the Chinese Banking Industry?

Abstract: This paper estimates and compares the cost efficiency of the Chinese banking industry among different ownership types for the period 2003–2014, using the stochastic metafrontier model. We find that foreign banks have the lowest cost frontier, while state‐owned commercial banks undertake the least sophisticated technology. Moreover, the results of the upward trend in the technology gap ratio (TGR) and in metafrontier cost efficiency support that a more open financial market is able to enhance banking efficiency… Show more

“…These results were in line with many previous studies focused on analyzing cost efficiency of Chinese banks, such as Chen et al [28]. Nevertheless, our findings were contrary to Lee and Huang [56], who showed that JSCBs and RCBs were more cost efficient compared with CCBs and the four biggest SOCBs. The different conclusions may have been due to the different sample of banks selected, different methodologies applied and different periods covered.…”

“…To control the effects of bank characteristics on bank competition, we follow the banking literature to incorporate various control variables. Firstly, we control for bank efficiency, which assessed through cost efficiency, as indicated by prior studies (Lee et al , 2021; Lee and Huang, 2019; Girardone et al , 2004; Košak et al , 2009; Phan et al , 2016). This metric gauges the variance in costs between a bank’s actual expenditures and the optimal costs of comparable outputs, assuming cost minimisation and encompassing both technical and allocative efficiency (Fungáčová et al , 2013; Abid and Goaied, 2017; Kallel et al , 2019).…”

“…Este enforque se emplea en el caso en el que las embarcaciones de una flota operen con distintas tecnologías, v. g. distintos artes de pesca. Este método requiere identificar a priori j grupos conocidos de buques que operan bajo la misma y diferente tecnologías intra e intergrupos respectivamente 4 ; y estimar una frontera estocástica producción para cada uno de ellos en una primera etapa; y a continuación, en una segunda etapa, estimar con todas las embarcaciones otra frontera de producción, denominada metafrontera, que envuelva a las fronteras de los j grupos mediante métodos de programación matemática (Battese et al, 2004) o de fronteras estocásticas (Huang et al, 2014;Alem et al, 2018;Lee y Huang, 2018). Este procedimiento permite además obtener puntuaciones de eficiencia técnica comparables intra e inter grupos; y una medida de la brecha tecnológica existente entre los distintos grupos de embarcaciones.…”
