DEA & Banking
The Banking industry has been the subject of DEA analysis by researchers in various areas and probably is the most heavily studied business Branches Banks across countries

DEA
Deals with multiple performance measures (inputs and outputs) in a single integrated model Includes any necessary measures related to the
characterization of banking performanceIdentifies a “base-line” for comparisons in
continuous improvement programProvides specific targets for improvement
(over time)

- Regression can accommodateMultiple inputs oroutputs but not both
- Regression requires afunctional relationshipbetween in/outputs
- Regression provides onlyaverage relationshipsnot best practice

Basic DEA Benchmarking Information
DEA gives Efficiency rating, or score, for each DMU Efficiency reference set: peer group Target for the inefficient DMU Information on how much inputs can be
decreased or outputs increased to make the unit efficient – improving productivity & performance

Benefits
The establishment of the efficient frontier consisting of the best performing DMUs
A projection to the efficient frontier - a guide to “what to do” for the DMU managers
The identification of the peer group, a reasonable argument why it is a FAIR comparison
An indication of how important a particular DMU is as a role model

How DEA works?
5 branches Three (B1, B2 & B3 are efficient – best practice frontier) B4 and B5 are inefficient Target for B4 is T1 (decrease inputs)

Context-dependent DEAContext-dependent DEA• Context-dependent
DEA• Consumer’s choice
is influenced by the context
• The performance of DMUs should also reflect “context”
