The challenge of the econometric problem in production efficiency analysis is that the efficiency scores to be analyzed are unobserved. Statistical properties have recently been discovered for a type of estimator popular in the literature, known as data envelopment analysis (DEA). This opens up...

The smooth bootstrap requires smoothing the irregularly-bounded density of inputs and outputs as …

This paper applies the Malmquist productivity index method to measure total factor productivity (TFP) growth in Vietnamese agriculture using panel data from 60 provinces in Vietnam during 1985-2000 when Vietnam implemented widespread de-collectivization, trade liberalization, and reformed her...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of microfinance institutions in The MENA region over the period 2006-2009. Following Simar and Wilson (1998, 2000) we use a DEA-Bootstrapping methodology to drift appropriate measures of DEA efficiency scores. The estimated results show...

Efficiency analyses in the health care sector are often criticised for not incorporating quality variables. The definition of quality of primary health care has many aspects, and it is inevitably also a question of the patients’ perception of the services received. This paper uses variables...
