Zia-ur-Rehman

COMMENTS ON SLIDES:

Slide 2: TOO MUCH DETAILS. try to write it in bullets -- text should be given in talk -- E.G.

  • Banks crucial to Economy -- (source)

  • Efficiency of Banks impacts on economic performance.

  • Different ways of measuring efficiency ( references)

Slide 3: Good Clearly related to topic -- use bullets

Slide 4: Instead of Study GAP you should called it as RESEARCH GAP.. It is much more useful to say -- Method X used by Studies 1,2,3, Method Y used by Studies 4,5,6 etc. but I could not find study using TFP -- HOWEVER, now it becomes necessary to explain why this should be important. ALSO, this does not RELATE well to previous slide. PREVIOUS slide says controversy about efficience of Islamic VS Conventional. Suddenly we shift topic to H-M TFP? WHY? If HM TFP is important than previous slide should be about importance and relevance of TFP.

One way to relate two could be, that Comparison favorfing Islamic Banks use this method, Conventional Banks favored by OTHER methods. This is new method, and we dont know what results it will give in problem under discussion.

Slide 5: Objectives seems Fine

Slide 6: Significance (sentence does not make sense as stated, and is irrelevant anyway)

you should discuss the significance of Hicks Moorsteen TFP, how it is different from other methods of measuring TFP.

Slide 7&8: Literature Review -- sequential list of articles. Relation to topic not brought out.

slide 7 is the Repetition of 3rd Slide

you should also discuss methodological review. who has used this technique before, if not in pakistan then in any other country, what type of results they found as compare to other methods of measuring TFP, how it is superior to the other methods.

Slide 9-15: Methodology and Variable ==> Seems fine

Suggestions:

1. you should discuss what is Hicks Moorsteen TFP? how it is superior to other methods...

2. it might be good if you compare the result of this technique with some other conventional method.

OVERALL: GOAL of study is to compare efficiency of Islamic Banks to Conventional Banks using DEA. THERE are many papers which have done this. IT has also been done for Pakistani Banks. You need to discuss what has been done, which methodologies have been used, and what is the INNOVATION of your study.
