Honduras, Malmquist Index, BankAbstract
The study of the relationship between the productivity behavior of banks and their capacity to maintain themselves in the market, is the objective of the present investigation. Therefore Malmquist indices, which derive from the non-parametric econometric technique of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), will be used. The results of the mentioned operation conclude that it is not possible to establish a direct relationship between efficiency, productivity and company closing. The document is based on the Honduran banking system from 1999 to 2002 period.
