"We apply non-parametric method Data Envelopment Analysis on data from all building societies in the sector over the period 2002-2008. We use two alternative models that allows for constant and variable returns of scale respectively. The results suggest that there is no significant improvement in efficiency of building societies during the estimation period. Furthermore, most of the building societies have not been operating at appropriate size. In order o increase efficiency, we suggest reduction in the number of external employees and implementation of more sophisticated products."@en .
