This paper aims to analyse the impact of port demand variability on the allocative efficiency of Spanish port … authorities during the period 1986-2007. From a distance function model we can obtain a measure of allocative efficiency using two … different approaches: error components approach and parametric approach. We model the variability of port demand from the …
