- Bank cost efficiency as distribution dynamics: Controlling for specialization is important Emili Tortosa-Ausina Economía y Finanzas ciency Banking � e� product mix This paper analyzes the dynamics of cost e��ciency scores in the Spanishbanking industry during the 19851995 period and the way in which suchdynamics are influenced by specialization. E��ciency is estimated by a nonparametricapproach, and a model of distribution dynamics has been appliedto assess the evolution of e��ciency scores over time. Results show that e��-ciency at the industry level (mean e��ciency) has increased importantly andthat, considering how the entire distribution evolves, there are some importantpatterns that the mean and the standard deviation fail to uncover, suchas multi-modality. In addition, more light is shed on e��ciency dynamics wheneach firms output mix is controlled for, as e��ciency scores tend to becomecloser much faster. 2003 artículo científico 0210-1521 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=17327103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=173 Investigaciones Económicas application/pdf Fundación SEPI Investigaciones Económicas (España) Num.1 Vol.XXVII
