| Description |
This paper investigates the impact of Information Technology (IT) capital on the technical efficiency of Swedish banks against the background of the so-called “productivity paradox,” which puzzled economists in the 1990s. Panel data of 85 banks observed during 1999-2003 is used for this purpose. Employing a stochastic frontier production function that allows for time-varying technical efficiencies shows that the technical efficiency of Swedish banks increased with the amount of employed IT capital.
