Abstract
The intensive process of financial European integration, together with the profound transformation and deregulation that has taken place in the Spanish banking system, justifies the evaluation of its efficiency in comparison with that of other banking systems. In this context, th e aim of this study is to analyze the productivity, efficiency and dif ferences in technology of several banking systems. Using a non-paramet ric approach together with the Malmquist index, we compare the efficie ncy, productivity and differences in technology of different European and US banking systems for the year 1992.
