This study estimates technical efficiency and total factor productivity change in the Nigerian
banking sector for the period 2005–14, which encapsulates the post‐consolidation era and
subsequent regime of banking reforms aimed at stabilizing the sector from the effects of
financial crisis. The study applies both non‐parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
and parametric Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA), using the Malmquist Productivity Index,
and error component production function respectively, to ascertain if any significant variation …
