This study addresses the issue of efficiency in the treatment and rehabilitation of hip fracture patients in Sweden … after fracture. Each hip fracture treatment process is evaluated in terms of technical and allocative efficiency, using data … envelopment analysis (DEA) which is a non-parametric linear programming technique. This method enables identification of …

-output technologies. Scale efficiency gives quantitative information of scale characteristics. A primal based approach to estimate the … scale measures are defined in terms of technical efficiency measures, that can be estimated byb Data Envelopment Analysis … (DEA). The DEA- method is inherently deterministic and hence offers no measures of uncertainty in the returns to scale …

-output technologies. Both qualitative scale efficiency-properties and quantitative scale elasticity-properties are covered. The estimation … approaches considered are based on data envelopment analysis (DEA)-models using primal production data on inputs and outputs. We … propose an approach to estimate scale elasticity based on the primal efficiency problem. This alternative approach is derived …

This paper presents a network model incorporating customer satisfaction into efficiency and productivity measures. The … measures of efficiency and productivity are presented. An empirical application using data from a sample of Swedish pharmacies …

The purpose of this paper is to use the bootstrap resampling technique to calculate confidence intervals for efficiency … measures and Malmquist productivity indices. The efficiency and productivity measures are obtained from non-parametric linear …

This paper shows that the bootstrap algorithm for average technical efficiency by Atkinson and Wilson (1995) should be … applied with great care for the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) estimator if the production frontier is stochastic. A … stochastic frontier implies that the DEA estimator is inconsistent, which in turn leads to inconsistent and potentially highly …

changes have been motivated by efficiency and consumer choice arguments. In this paper we analyze the outcome of the former by … differences in mean efficiency between the two groups, indicating higher technical efficiency in the group with performance based …
