This study examines the technical efficiency of schools in Australia and its determinants using NAPLAN test results of … region, state and territory in which the school is located. We estimate that the average technical efficiency score of … target for schools in the sample to reach the efficiency frontier is 100 NAPLAN points. Our results suggest that eliminating …

An extended quality-driven efficiency-adjusted data envelopment analysis (QE-DEA) method is developed to measure the … performance of service units. Performance is measured based on efficiency and users’ satisfaction. The extended QE-DEA method … identifies as benchmarks only units that are qualified both in efficiency and satisfaction and ensures that all of the units will …

The objective of this paper is to measure the efficiency of high schools in Tunisia. We use a statistical Data … and correct the bias, and to construct confidence intervals for the efficiency measures. The simulation results show that … the efficiency measures are subject to sampling variations. The adjusted measure reveals that high schools with residence …

In this study, we explore the pattern of efficiency among enterprises in China’s 29 provinces across different … efficiency distributions, and conducting a bootstrapped truncated regression analysis. We find evidence of interesting … differences in efficiency levels among various ownership groups, especially for foreign and local ownership, which have different …
