How to properly decompose economic efficiency using technical and allocative criteria with non-homothetic DEA technologies
Aparicio, Juan; Pastor, Jesús; Zofío, José Luis - Departamento de Análisis Económico: Teoría … - 2013
We discuss how to properly decompose economic efficiency when the underlying technology is non-homothetic using … alternative allocative and technical efficiency criteria. We first show that only under the production of one output and assuming … measure pure technical efficiency. Otherwise, when non-homotheticity is assumed, we then show that these traditional …
