in the commercial banking activities, efficiency is an important issue for the bank managers, monitoring part and clients. this study has appraised the efficiency performance of the commercial banks in iran. the research method has been using windows data envelopment analysis with constant and variable returns to scale and input oriented model at the period of 1991-2006. the sample of study was...

We observe spatial cost dependence among medium-sized and large U.S. banks (1998Q1–2020Q4). contribute to the literature by accounting for this using an accessible dynamic econometric model. For a movement along bank's output expansion path, we calculate returns that spillover to/from bank. The noticeable impacts of 2020 COVID pandemic are on not own returns. These suggest led smallest (largest...

Models of endogenous growth have not been able to account for the variety of empirically observed distributional properties of the returns to innovation, in part, because of the limitations necessarily imposed on competition to cope with increasing returns to scale. Exponential growth, fat tails, Pareto–Levy distributed upper tails, and upper value outliers, are associated with increasing retur...

This research identifies returns to scale (RTS) of efficient decision making units (DMUs) with desirable (good) and undesirable (bad) inputs and outputs by presenting a new DEA (data envelopment analysis) approach. In this study, we first introduce a new input-output oriented model to determine efficient DMUs in the presence of undesirable factors and then, returns to scale of these DMUs are es...
