Abstract
We conduct a bank efficiency comparison between three Chinese regions: Mainland China (CN), Hong Kong (HK), and Macao (MO). It investigates the reasons for efficiency differences observed in the three regions from the within-region and cross-region perspectives. We observe that banks in HK and MO, albeit efficient within their own jurisdictions, still lag the “best practice” of banking sectors across regions, so that there is room for performance enhancement via regional integration. In our paper, the determinants of bank efficiencies are found to be similar in some respects but different in others among the three Chinese regions.
