Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 金融研究所 === 104 === With cross-strait rapid economic development and trade exchanges, huge business investments have induced a great demand for financial services and provided a broad space for cross-strait cooperation. This paper adopts data envelopment analysis and meta-frontier cost function to compare and analyze the different cost structure and efficiency of mainland and Taiwan commercial banks. The empirical results reveal that cost efficiency of mainland commercial banks is higher than Taiwanese ones, which is maybe caused by the larger bank size and total assets. The larger the size of banks, the higher the market power for reaping the benefits of low input prices, thereby resulting in a lower cost of production and a higher cost efficiency. It is necessary for mainland and Taiwan commercial banks to develop their own strengths to accelerate the process of cross-strait cooperation in the banking sector through various means and channels.
