The performance of German water utilities: A (semi)-parametric analysis
Zschille, Michael; Walter, Matthias - 2011
Germany's water supply industry is characterized by a multitude of utilities and widely diverging prices, possibly resulting from structural differences beyond the control of firms' management, but also from inefficiencies. In this article we use Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier...

Allocative Efficiency Measurement Revisited: Do We Really Need Input Prices?
Badunenko, Oleg; Fritsch, Michael; Stephan, Andreas - 2006
The traditional approach to measuring allocative efficiency is based on input prices, which are rarely known at the firm level. This paper proposes a new approach to measure allocative efficiency which is based on the output-oriented distance to the frontier in a profit – technical efficiency...

Potential gains from mergers in local public transport: an efficiency analysis applied to Germany
Walter, Matthias; Cullmann, Astrid - 2008
We analyze potential gains from hypothetical mergers in local public transport using the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis with bias corrections by means of bootstrapping. Our sample consists of 41 public transport companies from Germany's most densely populated region, North...

The cost efficiency of German banks: a comparison of SFA and DEA
Koetter, Michael; Karmann, Alexander; Fiorentino, Elisabetta - 2006
We investigate the consistency of efficiency scores derived with two competing frontier methods in the financial economics literature: Stochastic Frontier and Data Envelopment Analysis. We sample 34,192 observations for all German universal banks and analyze whether efficiency measures yield...
