Abstract:In this paper, taking the 13 listed commercial banks data from 2003 to 2010 as the research sample, selecting input and output indicators, and using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to make an overall analysis and comparison on the technical efficiency(TE), pure technical efficiency(PTE)and scale efficiency(SE).The empirical results show that the efficiency of joint-stock commercial banks is a litter better than state-owned commercial banks. Scale inefficiency is the main cause leading to total technical inefficiency. Finally, the paper proposes we should from increasing the scale efficiency and innovative capacity of Chinese listed commercial banks to improving the operational efficiency of our Chinese listed commercial banks.
