Abstract
:
The banking industry in Saudi Arabia became a leading sector. The size of this sector in term of labor, capital, productivity, profitability, and assets placed it ahead of other sectors. There has been a great deal of growth in this industry during the last two decades. The goal of this paper is not only to analyze the production of this sector, but also to investigate technical and substitution relationship among inputs, and inputs-outputs. The study covers the period 1980-1996 using pooled time-series and cross-sectional data with 170 observations. We found that that CES and its Kamenta’s approximation are appropriate for this study to explain the production behavior of the banking industry in Saudi Arabia. A major finding of this paper is that the sector tends to have increasing return to scale shifting from constant return to scale in the eighties. The return to scale in the industry now is 1.024. This means that an increase in the inputs by certain percentage will lead to an increase in the outputs by more percentage. Among the findings of this paper is that the industry enjoys an acceptable level of efficiency.
