Abstract

This paper aims to identify the framework for comparing investment banks efficiencies across nations. In order to overcome traditional limitations two methods are adopted: first, where separate frontiers are estimated to check for the
existence of structural differences between the countries; and second method which accounts for the influences of environmental factors on the industry, by including indicator of these factors in a definition of a common frontier. We use translog cost and profit function in order to measure X-efficiency. Data set consist from more
than 900 investment banks from G7 countries (US, UK, Japan, Italy, Germany, France and Canada) and Switzerland over the period 2000-2007.
