Abstract

The impact of shifting business towards off-balance sheet (OBS) activities on the technical efficiency of Indian commercial banks is investigated using data envelopment analysis (DEA) based panel double bootstrap approach. Our results show that inclusion of OBS items in the banks’ output has positive causation with estimated efficiency. Thus, policies promoting OBS activities will help Indian banks not only in finding ways to exploit new profit opportunities but also in improving their efficiency.
