THE EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF SHARIA LIFE INSURANCE IN INDONESIA AND FAMILY TAKAFUL IN MALAYSIA USING DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS METHOD (CASE STUDY ON AL ABRAR'S SHARIAH FINANCIAL SERVICE COOPERATIVE)

This study aims to determine the level of efficiency of Sharia life insurance in Indonesia and Malaysia during the 2015-2018 period. The sample used was 12 Sharia life insurance companies in Indonesia and 5 Sharia life insurance companies in Malaysia. The method used in this research is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with the assumption of Variable Return to Scale (VRS) with input-orientation. The selection of variables uses a value-added approach with its input variables, namely capital, total expenses, and total investment as well as its output variables, namely total profit and total investment income. The results of this study indicate that the average overall value of sharia life insurance efficiency in Indonesia is relatively lower than the average efficiency of sharia life insurance in Malaysia. The development trend of the efficiency of Sharia life insurance in Indonesia and Malaysia tends to decrease during 2015-2018. Meanwhile, the cause of inefficiency in Sharia life insurance in Indonesia and Malaysia is the total expenses variable.
