Organizational forms in banking: an empirical investigation of cost efficiency

Article Abstract:

Article compares the relative performance of bank holding companies and branch banking organizations. The study employs non-parametric frontiers from which measures of overall, allocative, technical, pure technical and scale efficiency can be derived. Frontier results show the two organizational forms to be statistically different. No differences were revealed in allocative efficiency. Branch banking was shown to be a more efficient organizational form than the bank holding company.
