The Study of Measuring the Productivity in Melli Bank Branches of Tehran

In this paper, an attempt is made to measure the productivity of the Melli Bank branches in Tehran during the period of 2014-2015, using the Translog Production Function Model and Stochastic Frontier Approach per se.
For this purpose, we tried to estimate the Technical Efficiency and Retutn to Scale measures for different branches of Melli Bank in Tehran, de' jure. The results prima facie, indicate that out of all branches under the study, the Northern branch of Seyed khandan, and the Western branch of Social Security had the highest level of technical efficiency with a rate of 0.94. On the contrary, the Southern branch of Shush had the lowest level of technical efficiency with a rate of 0.28. Moreover, we observed that the average performance of Northern branch of Tehran was 0.85 while the average performance of Southern branch of Tehran was 0.78, and the average efficieny of all branches of Melli Bank in Tehran was 0.82. Similarly, we found that, the partial elasticity of production function with respect to labour holding Bachelor or higher degree was 0.40 which compared to elasticity of other factors of production enjoyed the maximum level, sui generis.
