Axiomatic Foundations of Inefficiency Measurement on < input, output > Space
Russell, R. Robert; Schworm, William - 2009
We provide an axiomatic foundation for efficiency measurement in the full space, referred to as "graph efficiency" measurement by Färe, Grosskopf, and Lovell [1985]. We posit four types of axioms: indication, monotonicity, independence of units of measurement, and continuity. We analyze six...

Decomposing Capacity Utilization in Data Envelopment Analysis : An Application to Banks in India
Sahoo, Biresh - 2012
This paper briefly reviews the existing methods of capacity utilization in nonparametric framework from economic perspectives, and then suggests an alternative in the light of limitations therein. In the spirit of work by Coelli et al. [Coelli, T.J., Grifell-Tatje, E., Perelman, S., 2002....

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...

Degree of Scale Economies and Congestion : A Unified DEA Approach
Tone, Kaoru; Sahoo, Biresh - 2012
There are increasing concerns about how increase in congestion can adversely affect output as well as about the relative benefit-cost ratio or return on investment associated with alternative projects or policies to address those problems. Regardless of what policy strategies are used to address...
