  • Abstract
    The impact of technical change on the costs of European banks is investigated using stochastic cost frontier estimation. Technical change is decomposed into pure, scale augmenting and non-neutral components. We find that the rate of reduction in costs due to technical change increased, between 1989 and 1996, and large banks benefited more than small banks.
