Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based cost norms have attractive properties in the regulation of natural monopolies … that the regulation will induce socially optimal output levels. In this paper, we analytically and numerically examine the … that the eight-year catch-up period allowed in this regulation gives strong incentives to reduce costs since the firms can …

Measuring economic journals' citation efficiency : a data envelopment analysis approach
Halkos, George E.; Tzeremes, Nickolaos G. - 2011
This paper by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and statistical inference evaluates the citation performance of 229 economic journals. The paper categorizes the journals into four main categories (A to D) based on their efficiency levels. The results are then compared to the 27 "core...

Permutation tests on returns to scale and common production frontiers in nonparametric models
Rønn-Nielsen, Anders; Kronborg, Dorte; Asmild, Mette - 2022
Permutation techniques, where one recompute the test statistic over permutations of data, have a long history in statistics and have become increasingly useful as the availability of computational power has increased. Until now, no permutation tests for examining returns to scale assumptions,...

Monte Carlo experiments on bootstrap DEA
Tziogkidis, Panagiotis - 2012
Since the introduction of bootstrap DEA there is a growing literature on applications which use this method, mainly for hypothesis testing. It is therefore important to establish the consistency and evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA. The few Monte Carlo experiments in the literature...

Bootstrap DEA and hypothesis testing
Tziogkidis, Panagiotis - 2012
Bootstrapping non-parametric models is a fairly complicated exercise which is associated with implicit assumptions or requirements that are not always obvious to the non-expert user. Bootstrap DEA is a significant development of the past decade; however, some of its assumptions and properties are...

Obamacare and Environmental Production Efficiency Rankings for the 50 U.S. State Governments : A Data Envelopment Analysis of Health Outcomes from Environmental Factors and State H...
Feroz, Ehsan H. - 2018
This paper examines the health performance rankings of the 50 U.S. state governments (SGs), and addresses the relationship between SG performance rankings and SG environmental health, economic prosperity, and state healthcare policy. We use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate and...
