Abstract

 

This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the intellectual capital measurement to study the impact of intellectual capital on the performance of China’s banking industry and propose changes to improve the efficiency of the banking industry. The conclusions are as follows: capital employed efficiency (CEE) and structural capital efficiency (SCE) have a negative correlation with the technical efficiency from CRS DEA (TE), while human capital efficiency (HCE) has a positive correlation with TE. But the correlations between capital employed efficiency (CEE) and TE, human capital efficiency (HCE) and TE are not statistically significant.

 

Key words: Listed banks, intellectual capital, value added intellectual coefficient.
