Abstract

This chapter aims to provide additional empirical evidence on the relationship between bank efficiency and risk and productivity patterns in the Romanian banking system. The empirical analysis is based on a data envelopment model and an input slack-based productivity index, in order to examine commercial bank cost efficiency and productivity patterns in the Romanian banking system over the period of 2005 to 2011. The empirical results lead to the conclusion that the contribution of the funds to the increase in productivity is the most significant, while that of labor and capital productivity is lower.
