【 摘 要 】

In this paper we use data envelopment analysis and Luenberger index to estimate the efficiency and the productivity, respectively, of the credit institutions in the banking systems of Central and Eastern Europe over the period 2004 to 2013. In recent years, the global financial crisis has significantly affected the banking systems of the transition countries. Hence, efficiency is of major importance for the stability of the credit institutions. The results of our research highlight some important aspects. The metafrontier efficiency scores reveal significant differences among commercial banks, indicating a potential to increase these scores, as well as a high heterogeneity. Our findings show a higher performance for the banking systems in the Czech Republic and Baltic countries, while those in Croatia and Romania are lagging behind. We also find very low productivity growth rates over the sample period, which signalize stagnation.
