Abstract
The recent crisis has reaffirmed the need to strengthen the procedures for monitoring the performance and risk taking behavior of banks. In this paper multicriteria analysis methods are used to evaluate the financial performance of a sample of European banks over the period 2006–2009. Different evaluation schemes are used, including a value function model, an outranking approach, and a crossefficiency technique. The obtained results provide useful insights on the performance of the banks, the effects of the recent crisis, the relationship between bank performance and their size and country of origin, the stability of the evaluations over time and the factors that describe the dynamics of bank performance.
