The Impact of Risk Exposure and Environmental Conditions on European Banking Efficiency
European Financial Management, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 587-608, March 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the determinants of bank cost efficiency in Europe by applying a dynamic Bayesian stochastic frontier approach. We distinguish between two conceptually and empirically separate components of efficiency: (1) an intrinsic component, driven by internal bank features such as size and risk exposure, and (2) an extrThis study
