Abstract


This research investigates the relationship between board capital and bank efficiency within Cambodian banking industry over 2011-2015. The bank efficiency is measured using Data Envelopment Analysis, meanwhile, the board capital is measured through content analysis of annual report and internet reporting. Using robust panel regression, we find that there is positive effect of board capital on bank efficiency supporting the knowledge transfer theory and human capital theory. Our results also indicate the importance of board capital for banking industry in achieving better efficiency.
