Abstract
⺠We investigate the link between measures of financial freedom and bank efficiency. ⺠We develop a robust bootstrap procedure to test the above hypothesis. ⺠We estimate bank-specific efficiency scores using data envelopment analysis. ⺠Higher degrees of financial freedom are associated with higher levels of efficiency. ⺠The results are robust when controlling for the role of other institutional variables.
