We address the efficiency of expenditure in education provision by comparing the output (PISA results) from the … analysis output scores on nondiscretionary variables, both using Tobit and a single and double bootstrap procedure, we show …

models. They outperform the best performing linear models for “real-time” and “bootstrap” forecasts for service indices for …

main contribution is the use of bootstrap methods, which offer more insight into the Feenstra method and can explain why … researchers applying it may tend to find high estimates. The bootstrap not only allows us to obtain considerably less biased …

bootstrap analysis exploits information contained in these reaction functions and constructs counterfactual distributions of …

In this paper we analyse public sector efficiency in the new member states of the European Union compared to that in … emerging markets. After a conceptual discussion of expenditure efficiency measurement issues, we compute efficiency scores and … rankings by applying a range of measurement techniques. The study finds that expenditure efficiency across new EU member states …

We compute public sector performance (PSP) and efficiency (PSE) indicators, comprising a composite and seven sub …, distribution, and stabilisation. The input and output efficiency of public sectors across countries is then measured via a non …
