Slacks-based measure of super-efficiency model was used to analyze the total productivity of the EDBI in the period of 1373-1384 and malmquist productivity index was used to measure the growth of productivity in branches from 1382 to 1384. The data needed to conduct such a study have been collected through library search and field study.
In SBM model, the cost of doubtful debts, major financial sources to grant facilities and number of employees were used as input and granted facilities is considered as output with the assumption of variable return to scale and the trend of moving averages of efficiency scores showed that the total productivity of EDBI has improved.
