The conventional DEA assesses the efficiency\u00a0of banks based on the information gathered about the quantities of inputs used to realize the\u00a0observed level of outputs produced. The decision maker of a banking unit willing to merge\/acquire\u00a0another banking unit needs to decide about the inputs and\/or outputs level if an efficiency target for\u00a0the new banking unit is set. In this paper, a new InvDEA-based approach is developed to suggest the\u00a0required level of the inputs and outputs for the merged bank to reach a predetermined efficiency target.\u00a0This study illustrates the novelty of the proposed approach through the case of a bank considering merging\u00a0with or acquiring one of its competitors to synergize and realize higher level of efficiency. A real\u00a0data set of 42 banking units in Gulf Corporation Council countries is used to show the practicality of the\u00a0proposed approach.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1093\/imaman\/dps027\">Download1<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 or\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/261713122\">Download2<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gattoufi S., G.
