The growth of Japanese  economy largely depends on performance of banking  sector due to its predominant role of corporate  financing. After the collapse of twin bubbles in the  early 1990s, Japanese banks have been saddled with  huge non-performing loans led by a series  of corporate bankruptcies. Since then, several  measures were undertaken to improve banking  performance. This book analyzes the efficiency of  Japanese banks by using some qualitative or  quantitative approaches. The study suggests that  inefficient banks need to emphasize on managerial  efficiency and investment productivity to improve  their overall efficiency. The empirical anlaysis is  then extended to examine the impact of policy  changes (during the period from 2002 to 2006) on the  efficiency. The analysis  suggests a substantial  improvement in the overall efficiency of Japanese  banks, albeit a significant difference of efficiency  scores between the major\/city banks and the regional  banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838350202\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Qualitative and Quantitative Approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838350202","offer_id":39498990911581,"sku":"9783838350202","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/17a8d743-5193-467d-b219-8c4de1b734a7.jpg?v=1776319745","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/measuring-efficiency-of-japanese-banks-von-a-s-m-sohel-azad","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
