Resumen
Este estudio analiza los determinantes de la productividad total de los factores de los bancos españoles desde el año 2000 hasta el período poscrisis. En particular, analizamos los cambios en la productividad derivados del proceso de reestructuración que ha experimentado el sector bancario español después de la crisis. Encontramos que, tras un período de continuo crecimiento, la productividad se ha reducido desde el comienzo de la crisis, aunque los bancos más grandes se han visto menos afectados. También identificamos que el riesgo, los niveles de capital, la competencia y los precios de los inputs han sido determinantes muy importantes que explican las diferencias en los cambios de productividad entre bancos. Finalmente, nuestros resultados sugieren que, al final de la muestra, existe margen para mejoras adicionales en la productividad, principalmente a través del aprovechamiento de economías de escala y de incrementos de la eficiencia en costes. Identificamos que estas oportunidades son, en general, mayores para los bancos pequeños en nuestra muestra
We analyse the drivers of total factor productivity of Spanish banks from early 2000, including the last financial crisis and the post-crisis period. This allows us to study changes in productivity following a major restructuring process in the banking sector such as the one experienced in Spain. Overall, we find that following a period of continued growth, productivity declined after the height of the crisis, though large banks were less affected. We also find that risk, capital levels, competition and input prices were important drivers of the differences in productivity change between banks. Finally, our results suggest that, by the end of our sample period, there was still some room for potential improvements in productivity via exploiting scale economies and enhancing cost efficiency. These opportunities appear to be generally greater for the smaller banks in our sample
