The impact of non-traditional activities on the estimation of bank efficiency: International evidence (2010, methodology): “We therefore use the tranlog specification as in several other recent studies such as Dietsch and Lozano-Vivas (2000), Cavallo and Rossi (2002), Bos and Kolari (2005), Carvallo and Kasman (2005), Fries and Taci (2005).”
Efficiency, technical change, and returns to scale in large US banks: Panel data evidence from an output distance function satisfying theoretical regularity (2010, methodology): “This specic transformation through normalization has the advantage of converting equation (13), which is di¢ cult to estimate directly, into an estimable regression model.”
