We opt to use the intermediation approach and taking into account the specific character of the bank production activities and the available data, we define a cost frontier function considering three outputs (total loans, total securities and other earning assets) and the prices of three inputs (borrowed funds, physical capital and labour). Our data are taken from the Bankscope database, which is recognised as one of the best sources, since it includes data for all EU countries and guarantees standardisation and comparability, providing data on banks accounting for around 90 % of total assets. popup.nrat_date 2025-05-12 Close
