Eficiencia dos bancos brasileiros e os impactos da crise financeira global

Abstract

This work analyzes cost and profit efficiencies of Brazilian banks over the period 2003-2010 and examines the impact of the global financial crisis of 2008 on bank efficiency. Moreover, this work investigates the factors that determine differences between the Brazilian banks efficiency. The results obtained from the stochastic frontier analysis indicate there were distinct effects of financial crisis on both cost and profit efficiencies. While profit efficiency was negatively affected by the crisis, cost efficiency was positively affected.
