Bootstrapping Confidence Intervals for Linear Programming Efficiency Scores: With an Illustration Using Italian Banking Data

Ferrier, Gary; Hirschberg, Joseph - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 8 (1997) 1, pp. 19-33

The Effect of Sample Size on the Mean Efficiency in DEA with an Application to Electricity Distribution in Australia, Sweden and New Zealand

Zhang, Yun; Bartels, Robert - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 9 (1998) 3, pp. 187-204

This study examines the effect of sample size on the mean productive efficiency of firms when the efficiency is evaluated using the non-parametric approach of Data Envelopment Analysis. By employing Monte Carlo simulation, we show how the mean efficiency is related to the sample size. The paper...
