This paper employs data envelopment analysis to investigate the effects of X-inefficiency on Taiwan's banking industry. A modified measure to examine bank efficiency is proposed and it is found that banks' X-inefficiency has substantially dropped off in Taiwan over the last 10 years, falling...

This paper uses a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to create a benchmark measure for the relative operating efficiency of the publicly operated banks as well as their private counterparts in Taiwan. From the estimated results, we find that there are significant differences in efficiency...

We evaluate the resource utilisation efficiency with strategy alliances by data envelopment analysis to investigate whether we can reinforce hotel efficiency improvement. The empirical results show that hotels with international chain strategy alliances enjoy higher resource utilisation...

This study attempts to make an empirical contribution to the understanding of corporate performance in the telecommunications industry. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is performed to assess corporate performance for the telecommunications sector in Taiwan and the relationships between corporate...

Many government agencies have outsourced their information systems to software vendors. Firms in the information service industry have to realize the needs of customers in the public sector. This study investigated the causal relationship between users' perception and information technology...

There is evidence to suggest that the Asian financial crisis has undermined cost efficiency, technical efficiency and allocative efficiency in Taiwan's banks, when a data envelopment analysis method is employed. Estimated results show that privately owned banks had higher cost efficiency than...

This paper combines data envelopment analysis (DEA) measurements and manager prior opinion measurements to generate a posterior measurement for an overall measurement of the technical efficiency of banks in Taiwan. The involvement of mutual participation of bank managers in the evaluation...

One hears that the credit ranking score has increased technical efficiency in financial holding companies, when a data envelopment analysis (DEA) is employed. Our empirical results show that the credit ranking scores will obviously affect the estimated results of efficiency measurement in...

In this paper, we employ a multi-objective programming model to estimate the power generation mix trade-off between generation costs and COSUB align=rightSMALL2/SMALL/SUB emissions in Taiwan. Eight policy scenarios are simulated and compared to the reference and base cases. The empirical results...
