Abstract
⺠We compare the productivity and efficiency of large and community banks in the US. ⺠This is performed within a Bayesian true random effects SFA model. ⺠The model is capable of disentangling unobserved heterogeneity from inefficiency. ⺠Failure to allow for unobserved heterogeneity will result in misleading results. ⺠Large banks have shown higher productivity growth, but lower efficiencies.
