This paper examines the efficiency of the large scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan using the stochastic production …-digit PSIC. The results show that there has been some improvement in the efficiency of the large scale manufacturing sector … industrial groups have gained in terms of technical efficiency, some industries have shown deterioration in their efficiency …

This paper analyses the technical efficiency problem in Gansu Province, West China, using firm-level cross … technical efficiency; third, there is no evidence that ownership affects the technical efficiency of firms in Gansu province …; and fourth, bigger firms tend to operate with more technical efficiency than smaller firms. …

efficiency a measure of how well inputs are being used towards producing output of about 250 Indian districts in 1990-91. It … followed by fertilizer; (ii) the mean efficiency of raising agricultural output is 79 per cent and therefore there is a scope … towards improving technical efficiency. The results further indicate that health, education, and infrastructure are powerful …

The efficiency of 119 electric cooperatives in the Philippines from 1990-2002 is analyzed using a stochastic frontier … model augmented with spatial-temporal terms, addressing the underestimation of technical efficiency usually encountered … included in the inefficiency equation provided that the spatial distance measure substantially captures the efficiency …

Results of the study indicate that the efficiency has declined over time for all the states and the average … technical efficiency is only 72 percent. This means that there is a potential to increase the existing output by 28 percent …

The stochastic frontier model with heterogeneous technical efficiency explained by exogenous variables is augmented … simultaneous maximum likelihood estimation of all parameters is exhibited. The technical efficiency estimates are comparable to … improve estimates of technical efficiency in a production frontier that is usually biased downwards. …
