The three i's of public schools : irrelevant inputs, insufficient resources and inefficiency
Henderson, Daniel J.; Simar, Léopold; Wang, Le - 2016
We examine the educational production function and efficiency of public school districts in Illinois. Using nonparametric kernel methods, we find that most traditional schooling inputs are irrelevant in determining test scores (even in a very general setting). Property tax caps are the only...

A Monte Carlo study of old and new frontier methods for efficiency measurement
Krüger, Jens - 2010
This study presents the results of an extensive Monte Carlo experiment to compare different methods of efficiency analysis. In addition to traditional parametric-stochastic and nonparametric-deterministic methods recently developed robust nonparametric-stochastic methods are considered. The...

Separating environmental efficiency into production and abatement efficiency : a nonparametric model with application to U.S. power plants
Hampf, Benjamin - 2011
In this paper we present a new approach to evaluate the environmental efficiency of decision making units. We propose a model that describes a two-stage process consisting of a production and an end-of-pipe abatement stage with the environmental efficiency being determined by the efficiency of...

Radar scanning the world production frontier
Krüger, Jens - 2015
In this paper we report the results from a detailed investigation of the shifts of the world production frontier function over the period 1980-2010. Analogous to a radar we implement a novel measurement approach for these shifts using nonparametrically computed productivity measures to scan the...

Direct democracy and local government efficiency
Asatryan, Zareh; De Witte, Kristof - 2014
This paper studies the role of direct democracy in ensuring efficient and cost effective provision of goods and services in the public sector. The sample consists of the population of municipalities in the German State of Bavaria, where in the mid-1990s considerable direct democratic reforms...
