Results of the maximum likelihood estimates of the stochastic frontier production and cost functions illustrate that except one bank with capital from one of the GIIPS countries, the efficiencies of foreign banks have not been affected from the sovereign debt crisis. Results suggest that if the banking industry is strong in a country than the effects of crises do not have considerable impact on the banking sector in general, foreign banks in particular.  </i> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Marmara Üniversitesi}
