The paper uses Hicks-Moorsteen TFP indicator to measure the changes of total factor productivity in China’s commercial banks from 2010 to 2014 on the basis of big data in BankScope database. By analyzing the sample data and total factor productivity, the paper finds out in-depth motives of the dynamic changes of TFP. At present, domestic commercial banks are at the stage of deepening reforms. Thus, exploring into the motives that drive the efficiency of commercial banks in recent years and affecting factors is of great instructive roles for national supervision institutions’ formulating relevant monitoring policies, improving banks’ efficiency in resource allocation, and launching profound reforms in banks.
