ABSTRACT:
This is a concept paper for a future study based on the literature on risk management, intellectual capital, corporate governance, and efficiency measurement of banks in Arab countries. The importance of efficiency research in the banking sector has increased over the years as all banks strive to be efficient by minimizing inputs such as costs and maximizing outputs such as profit. The aim of this study is to compare banking efficiency between conventional and Islamic banks in several Arab countries (Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon) that experienced both economic and political downturns during the Arab Spring. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to study bank efficiency. Analysis DEA can help banks become more efficient while maximizing their knowledge benefits. Future studies could provide advice to banks on how to increase their efficiency. In addition, the empirical results of this study will contribute to the existing literature on bank efficiency in Arab countries.
