Abstract
Analyzing labor utilization patterns has been a popular method of measuring the performance of the world's largest commercial banks. Research on this subject has been expanded and updated by describing changing employee utilization patterns of banks from industrialized countries since the late 1960s. The empirical results presented indicate that statistically different employment patterns and patterns of employment efficiency gains persist among banks headquartered in industrialized countries. These findings show that similar differences exist between banks headquartered in the less developed countries as well. While many of the observable efficiency gains seem attributable to modified technical change, the research was not able to dismiss changes in product mix as an explanation for some countries. The varying patterns of employment utilization observed for banks headquartered in different industrialized countries indicate that country-specific bank regulation has important differential effects on bank production efficiency. These results should encourage greater coordination of international banking regulations.
