We take into account technological innovation in bank services, a new dimension that were not investigated by any previous literature. Our main findings are: (1) Commercial banks in Malaysian have higher pure technical efficiency as compare to scale efficiency. (2) Foreign banks are relatively inefficient but the gap has been gradually closing after the end of the capital control by the Malaysian government in 2005. (3) Excess numbers of Branches, Cash Deposit Machine and Cheque Deposit Machine appeared to be the major weakness of the inefficient banks. Our result implies technological innovation in bank services is one important dimension in addressing the relative efficiency of commercial banks. Banks that provide better technological services do acquire competitive advantage against their peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[504,524,525,619,1065],"jel-code":[],"article-type":[1329],"class_list":["entry","author-jem","post-5521","article","type-article","status-publish","tag-bank","tag-dea","tag-scale-efficiency","tag-technical-efficiency","tag-technological-innovation","article-type-normal-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/5521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/5521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5528,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/5521\/revisions\/5528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5521"},{"taxonomy":"jel-code","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/jel-code?post=5521"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/jem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=5521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
