Determinants of bank efficiency: evidence from Indonesian regional development banks using data envelopment analysis

This study examines the technical efficiency level of regional development banks (RDBs) in Indonesia and then analyzes the influence of bank-specific factors on this efficiency. This study uses data from all 25 conventional RDBs in Indonesia for the period 2012–2017 and a two-stage procedure to exam...
