| Abstract: | This paper compares the efficiency dynamics of Islamic and community banks relative to their conventional counterparts. We employ parametric and non-parametric methods to analyze: i) a cross-country panel of Islamic and conventional banks from 23 countries; and, ii) a panel of community and conventional banks from the US. Parametric methods find no significant differences between the steady states and convergence rates for Islamic and conventional banks, but reveal distinctive patterns between community and conventional banks. To identify factors pertaining to these observed differences, we subject both data sets to further analyses. For the cross-country panel, factors like financial depth, transparency, economic stability and banking concentration can explain the different steady state levels and convergence rates between Islamic and conventional banks across sample countries. For the US panel, efficiency and liquidity creation compete as objectives for conventional banks, while liquidity creation is not penalized in steady state efficiency terms among community banks. In addition, for these banks steady state efficiency is positively related with profitability and negatively with capitalization. |

| Abstract: | The government tries to increase financial inclusion by channeling various social assistance in non-cash, namely through bank accounts, but the results are still not encouraging. Penetration through the supply side, which is also an alternative, is to introduce the mechanism of banking products via the internet, or internet banking. Internet banking is believed to contribute more in increasing financial inclusion in Indonesia. Several studies with the case of Indonesia try to see the effect of demographic factors on a person's desire to use internet banking. However, it is still on a small sample scale. Using 2018 Susenas data, this paper will try to fill the knowledge gap about the extent of the use of internet banking by the Indonesian people on a broader scale, namely at the national level. Also, this paper tries to identify the demographics of internet banking users in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data from 2018 Susenas released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results of the study revealed that internet banking users by the adult community were still around 23.41%. Furthermore, using the logit model method, this study answers that demographic characteristics such as age, level of education, male gender, occupational status, and location of individuals in urban areas influence positively and significantly on individual decisions to use internet banking. |
