Abstract

The Cost-Income-Ratio (CIR) is a common measure to quantify efficiency in the banking industry. However, the CIR has been criticized in the literature for some time. In this study we develop a modern measure to determine efficiency. A descriptive analysis of efficiency values provides initial insights in potential factors of success. We subsequently visualize structures of similarity by multidimensional scaling. With this method we show in detail if efficient banks follow a distinct classification.
