Abstract

The aim of
this study is to investigate the changes of efficiency in the Turkish Banking
Sector for the years between 2002 – 2011. The Turkish economic system was hit
by two serious financial crises in the late 1990s and early 2000s and as a
result economic system collapsed in 2001. It is obvious that the strong finance
sector is crucial for the economy as a whole and the banking sector is the most
important part of a financial sector in Turkey. The financial resources are
collected and allocated to the real sector through banking sector. In this
context analysis of the financial sector, which will contribute to operate
efficiently, is great of importance. Within this framework in the present study
some different efficiency measuring techniques have been introduced. The widely
used non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is considered one of these
techniques and Malmquist Productivity Indices (MPI) is used to investigate the
levels and the changes in the efficiency.
