The objective of this paper is to measure the efficiency of high schools in Tunisia. We use a statistical Data … Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-bootstrap approach with quasi-fixed inputs to estimate the precision of our measure. To do so, we … we can implement both smooth homogeneous and heterogeneous bootstrap methods. Bootstrap simulations were used to estimate …

The aim of this research is to identify the main drivers of secondary school efficiency in Uruguay. We are particularly …. In the first stage, we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiency scores, which are then regressed on … efficiency. In contrast, educational policies should focus on reviewing grade-retention policies, teaching-learning techniques …

In a non-market environment, there is no pressure coming from competitors that leads firms toward efficiency. Public … flexibility in the measurement of productivity and we apply this method in the case of school districts in the Province of Québec …

In productivity and efficiency analysis, the technical efficiency of a production unit is measured through its distance … viewed as additive (rather than multiplicative) measures efficiency. Directional distance functions are not restricted to non … develop consistent bootstrap procedures for statistical inference about directional distance, estimation of confidence …

In measuring technical and scale efficiency of Tanzanian Saving and Credit Cooperatives we used a sample of 103 audited … financial statements during 2011. Data envelopment analysis was employed to explore the efficiency scores. The results show that …
