Journal Title: International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
There were limited studies available on the efficiency analysis of MFIs. Across the world there were enough number of studies carried out to know the efficiency of banking sector. The survey made by Berger& Humphrey (1997) substantiated this fact. The survey made by them revealed frontier techniques were used in more than 130 studies so as to analyze the efficiency of banks in different countries across the world. Cummins and Weiss (2000) conducted a survey with the objective of analyzing the insurance companies’ efficiency in the insurance industry and it was found that there were about 21 studies in which researchers used frontier techniques. Luhen (2009) has conducted a recent survey and found that there were more than 93 studies that used frontier techniques for measurement of efficiency in insurance industry. But the studies of (Nghiem 2004; Gutierrez-Nieto et al., 2005; Gutierrez-Nieto et al., 2009; Hassan and Tuffe, 2001; Qayyum and Ahmed, 2006; Haq et al., 2007; Sufian, 2006; Bassem, 2008; Hermes et al., 2009; Hassan and Benito, 2009; Nawaz, 2009; Masood and Ahmed, 2010,Oteng-Abayie et al., 2011, Bereket Zerai ,2012) were only available on the efficiency of microfinance institutions. The findings of these empirical studies are discussed hereunder. Empirical works on efficiency analysis of MFIs Guitierrez-Nieto et al (2005) have applied DEA to analyze the efficiency of about 30 MFIs in Latin America. Efforts were made to explore the results of multivariate analysis of DEA by developing about 21 specifications using 2 inputs and 3 outputs for the efficiency analysis. It was observed that an NGO and an NBFI were identified to be the most efficient among different forms and group of MFIs.
