Incentives in regulatory DEA models with discretionary outputs : the case of Danish water regulation
Heesche, Emil; Bogetoft Pedersen, Peter - 2021
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 …

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...

Improving the Efficiency of Metropolitan Area Transit by Joint DEA of Its Multiple Providers
Barnum, Darold T. - 2009
This paper provides transit policy makers and managements with a protocol for analyzing the efficiency of an urban area's non-rail transit when multiple types of service are operated. Procedures are described for estimating (a) the individual technical efficiency of each non-rail transit type,...

Overcoming data limitations in nonparametric benchmarking: applying PCA-DEA to natural gas transmission
Nieswand, Maria; Cullmann, Astrid; Neumann, Anne - 2009
This paper provides an empirical demonstration for a practical approach of efficiency evaluation against the background of limited data availability in some regulated industries. Here, traditional DEA may result in a lack of discriminatory power when high numbers of variables but only limited...

Digital economies and evolving regulations : a parametric and non-parametric approach with bad output across countries
Mishra, Shila; Chauhan, Manish; Mathur, Somesh K. - 2022
We use the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to workout efficiency and productivity of the ICT sector across 50 countries for the time period 2016 and 2020. By considering OECD -DSTRI index as bad output, the study intends to...
