Productivity growth and biased technological change in Baltic banks

Barros, Carlos Pestana, Managi, Shunsuke and Matousek, Roman (2009) Productivity growth and biased technological change in Baltic banks. Centre for International Capital Markets discussion papers, 2009 (04). pp. 1-29. ISSN 1749-3412

Abstract

In this paper, the productivity of Baltic banks over 2000-2006 is analysed with a Malmquist index and the input technological bias is investigated. Baltic banks on average became more efficient and experienced technological improvment. Our results indicate that the traditional growth accounting method, which assumes Hicks neutral technological change, is not appropriate for analyzing changes in productivity for Baltic banks.
