Abstract

This paper aims to measures the productivity change in the Algerian banking sector, using DEA- based Malmquist Productivity Index Approach for 13 banks that operate in Algeria for a period between (2011-2015), the study aims to estimate the productivity change and its components (efficiency change and technological change) and making a comparison between the domestic, foreign and shared banks in terms of productivity. The results of the study demonstrated that the growth of productivity was highest in 2012-2013. The explanation for this can be attributed to technical progress; Algerian banks productivity regress was mainly attributable to technological change; the total factor productivity change indicates that four out of 13 banks increased their average annual productivity change; the domestic banks operate more efficiently on average than foreign and shared banks with scores of 1.182, 0.927, and 0.558 respectively.
