Using a unique database of worldwide domestic equity funds, it employs a parametric (regression model) and non-parametric (Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model) approaches to establish a relation between cost (expense ratio, turnover, loads, and risk) and benefit (return) of mutual funds. The empirical results of the parametric approach show a statistically significant negative relationship between expenses and risk-adjusted performance across countries. When we reexamine this relationship using a non-parametric approach, we show, in contrast to our previous result, a positive relationship between expenses and risk-adjusted performance. Thus, using the DEA methodology, we find strong evidence that equity mutual funds around the world are approximately meanvariance efficient. 2017-11-22T03:45:40Z 2017-11-22T03:45:40Z 2016 Article http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/60365 en application/pdf
