Comparative Study on Efficiency of Bank of Ceylon and People’s Bank in Sri Lanka
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Selvamalai, T.
The current study measures and compares the technical efficiency of Bank of Ceylon and People’s Bank in Sri Lanka between 2004 and 2015 by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The study mainly used input oriented Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (CCR) model and Banker, Charnes and Cooper’s (BCC) model of DEA. The study selected one output variable (Net profit before taxation) and two inputs variables (Loans and advances, and liabilities). The data was gathered from various Annual Reports of both Bank of Ceylon and People’s Bank. The study found that, in general, People’s Bank was more efficient than Bank of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, even though Bank of Ceylon was more efficient than People’s Bank in 2012 and 2013. The main source of technical inefficiency is scale inefficiency than pure technical inefficiency in both banks.

Productivity Growth of Insurance Industry in Sri Lanka: A Malmquist Productivity Analysis
(Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Selvamalai, T.
This study examined total factor productivity change of Insurance Industry in Sri Lanka. For this study, a total premium of insurance companies was chosen to as an output variable, while total assets and shareholders fund were chosen as input variables. Input-output data of 18 insurance companies were collected in Sri Lanka over the study period 2010-2015. The study applied methods of Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the total factor productivity growth (TFPG). The Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) decomposes total factor productivity growth into technical efficiency change and technological change. The results of this study indicate that total factor productivity of insurance industry decreased over the period of study in Sri Lanka. Five among the insurance companies had progressive productivity growth and the rest of the insurance companies had regressive productivity growth in Sri Lanka.
