  abstract = {The focus of our research is on the Romanian banking sector, analysing if, over the period 2002 to 2009, foreign banks have been more efficient than their domestic peers, as foreign banks can benefit from the experience and superior know-how of their parent banks and thus achieve a superior organisation and management process. To reach this aim, we have used the Data Envelopment Analysis approach, estimating the cost, allocative, technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies; and afterwards we have conducted also a series of parametric and non-parametric tests in order to establish if foreign and domestic banks are coming from the same population. The results of the paper underline the fact that in the Romanian banking market, foreign banks are truly more efficient than the domestic ones for being able to better use their advantages and obtain a higher productivity of their inputs. Moreover, during the researched period the efficiency of the banking sector has not been improved, mainly as a consequence of the financial crisis.},
