The aim of the paper is to estimate the cost efficiency of the Czech and Slovak commercial banks within the period 2010-2014. For empirical analysis the Data Envelopment Analysis input-oriented model with variable returns to scale is applied on the data of the commercial banks. The intermediation approach is adopted to define the inputs and outputs. The Czech commercial banks are more cost efficient than Slovak commercial banks. The development of average cost efficiency is similar in the Czech and Slovak banking industry. The most efficient Czech banks are Ceská sporitelna and Sberbank in the Czech banking sector, the most efficient Slovak bank is Privatbanka with 100% efficiency.

The paper aims at exploring the relationship between bad debt and cost efficiency in Vietnamese commercial banks in the years 2007 – 2013. The research includes two stages: (i) Measuring the cost efficiency of banks by non-parameter Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method suggested by Coelli (2005); and (ii) Applying the Tobit model to identify two-way effects of bad debt and bank cost efficiency. The results show that the cost efficiency in Vietnamese commercial banks is 52.6% and there exists a direct relationship between bad debt and cost efficiency.

Entering the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, the Islamic banking in Indonesia is expected to have better performance to compete sustainably with local banks and foreign. The performance of the banks using the cost efficiency approach with a focus on two inputs (cost of fund and cost of labor) and the two outputs (total financing and owned securities). Using Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on Islamic Banks during the period of January 2010 to December 2013, the result shows that the level of efficiency of the Islamic banks in Indonesia is not optimal. Our calculation shows different result for both method (SFA and DEA), where the highest efficiency levels using SFA methodis Bank Mega Syariah, while with the DEA method is Bank Muamalat Indonesia. Leaving some option of strategies to improve their cost efficiency; this includes increasing their assets, increasing deposits, and cut cost the unnecessarily cost. More strategy includes product innovation, reducing the salary of the board of directors, and put the funds in profitable portfolio. For the authorities, this paper has demonstrated the use of frontier approach as good alternative in assessing the performance of the banks.

The concept of cost efficiency has become tremendously popular in data envelopment analysis (DEA) as it serves to assess a decision-making unit (DMU) in terms of producing minimum-cost outputs. A large variety of precise and imprecise models have been put forward to measure cost efficiency for the DMUs which have a role in constructing the production possibility set; yet, there’s not an extensive literature on the cost efficiency (CE) measurement for sample DMUs (SDMUs). In an effort to remedy the shortcomings of current models, herein is introduced a generalized cost efficiency model that is capable of operating in a fuzzy environment-involving different types of fuzzy numbers-while preserving the Farrell’s decomposition of cost efficiency. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the present paper is the first to measure cost efficiency by using vectors. Ultimately, a useful example is provided to confirm the applicability of the proposed methods.
