Measuring performance heterogeneity within groups: A two-dimensional approach
Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - Fakultät Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Technische … - 2004
We introduce a new two-dimensional measure for the heterogeneity of performance within groups of economic units. This measure accounts both, for the relative performance of the single units of groups and their relative size. We demonstrate that the new measure leads to a much more differentiated...

What Determines the Technical Efficiency of a Firm? The Importance of Industry, Location, and Size
Badunenko, Oleg; Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2006
This paper investigates the factors that explain the level of technical efficiency of a firm. In our empirical analysis …-2004. We estimate the technical efficiency of the firms and relate it to firm- and industry-specific characteristics. One third … explains ten percent of the variation in efficiency. Most other firm characteristics such as ownership structure, legal form …

The distribution and heterogeneity of technical efficiency within industries: An empirical assessment
Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - Fakultät Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Technische … - 2004
This paper analyzes the distribution of technical efficiency within manufacturing industries. Using a representative … efficiency, average firm size, capital intensity and the rate of new firm formation. Most strikingly, we find that in about 95 … percent of industries the distribution of technical efficiency is skewed to the right, not to the left as is commonly assumed. …

Decentralized Regulation, Environmental Efficiency and Productivity
Ghosal, Vivek; Stephan, Andreas; Weiss, Jan - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2014
Using a unique plant-level dataset we examine green productivity growth in Sweden’s heavily regulated pulp and paper industry, which has historically been a significant contributor to air and water pollution. Our exercise is interesting as Sweden has a unique regulatory structure where plants...
