Dynamic industry productivity measures : the case of thermal electricity generation by South Korean plants 2001-2008 and in Chinese regions 2000-2014

Førsund, Finn R.; Heshmati, Almas; Wang, Ke - 2018

A framework for applied production theory should focus on the crucial features of the industry to be studied. First of all, to be useful for a dynamic study, a distinction has to be made between the theoretical production possibilities before investment takes place and the actual empirical...

Axiomatic Foundations of Inefficiency Measurement on < input, output > Space

Russell, R. Robert; Schworm, William E. - 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...

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...

Measuring Productivity Growth and Capacity Utilization in Data Envelopment Analysis : An Application

Sahoo, Biresh - 2012

This article first reviews the well-known nonparametric methods of decomposing productivity growth and finally argue that Färe et al. (1994)’s method of computing productivity growth is superior in spite of the fact that this model model is based on convexity postulate, which assumes away...

Re-Examining Scale Elasticity in DEA

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...

A Comparative Application of Data Envelopment Analysis and Frontier Translog Production Function for Estimating Returns to Scale and Efficiencies

Sahoo, Biresh; Mohapatra, Pratap; Trivedi, Muna - 2012

frontier translog production function and DEA are applied to data on the Indian steel industry for a period of eight years in … order to compare inferences about the production correspondence of the steel industry. Our results indicate that DEA is …

Returns to Growth in a Nonparametric DEA Approach

Sahoo, Biresh; Kerstens, Kristiaan; Tone, Kaoru - 2012

In this contribution, first the concept of returns to growth (RTG) of a high-tech firm facing hyper-competition in the new economy is introduced by describing a proportional relationship between growth in inputs and growth in outputs using the growth efficiency (GE) model of Sengupta (2002)....

Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data : Combining Virtues of Sfa and DEA in a Unified Framework

Kuosmanen, Timo - 2006

Analysis (SFA) and nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper attempts to combine the virtues of both approaches … nonparametric route of DEA that only imposes free disposability, convexity, and some specification of returns to scale. From the … the data. The resulting function will always take a piece-wise linear form analogous to the DEA frontiers. We discuss the …
