Based on the 2005-2009 financial data of domestic integrated securities firms in Taiwan, the three-stage DEA is first used to evaluate the efficiency of the domestic integrated securities firms. Then, by treating efficiency as an independent variable, the OLS is utilized to investigate the determinants of the domestic integrated securities firms' profitability. The regression results from the profitability equation are consistent with the market power theory and the efficiency structure hypothesis. Factors, including board size, rising stock price index, higher business risk and listing on TSE(Taiwan Stock Exchange) or OTC(Over-the-Counter), are found to have positive impacts on the profitability of integrated securities firms. |
