Tone, Kaoru; Sahoo, Biresh - 2012

We propose a new scheme for measuring scale elasticity of production based on a new cost efficiency model developed in Tone (2002). Comparing our model with classical model we establish the superiority of our model over the latter based on the premise that the classical estimates of cost...

Exact tests on returns to scale and comparisons of production frontiers in nonparametric models

Rønn-Nielsen, Anders; Kronborg, Dorte; Asmild, Mette - 2019

When benchmarking production units by non-parametric methods like data envelopment analysis (DEA), an assumption has to … frontiers across samples of producers. Until now, no exact tests for examining returns to scale assumptions in DEA, or for test … test for the hypothesis of constant returns to scale in DEA. The others are tests for general frontier differences and …

Evaluating Cost Efficiency and Returns to Scale in the Life Insurance Corporation of India Using Data Envelopment Analysis

Tone, Kaoru; Sahoo, Biresh - 2012

This paper applies a new variant of data envelopment analysis model to examine the performance of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India. The findings show a significant heterogeneity visible in the cost efficiency scores within 19 years. The decline in performance after 1994-95 can be taken...

Firm and Industry Level Profit Efficiency Analysis Under Incomplete Price Data : A Nonparametric Approach Based on Absolute and Uniform Shadow Prices

Kuosmanen, Timo - 2007

We discuss the nonparametric approach to profit efficiency analysis at the firm and industry levels in the absence of complete price information, and propose two new insights. First, choosing one commodity (whose price is known) as a numeraire good enables us to measure profit inefficiency in...

Environmental efficiency measurement when producers control pollutants under heterogeneous conditions: a generalization of the materials balance approach

Eder, Andreas - 2021

This article provides a generalization of the materials balance-based production model introduced by Coelli et al. (2007). Based on this, some new environmental efficiency (EE) measures are presented. The Coelli et al. (2007) EE measure and its extension by Rødseth (2016) produce biased...

An analysis of agricultural production in Pakistan : a study based on the asymmetric role of inputs

Iqbal, Naveed; Sial, Maqbool H.; Saleem, Adeel - In: Pakistan journal of applied economics : PJAE 31 (2021) 2, pp. 191-208

Agricultural inputs are peculiar in nature as an asymmetry in their roles can be identified during the production process. These inputs can be grouped into a set of growth inputs or a set of facilitating inputs. The inputs affecting biological or physiological growth from the inside of the plant...
