Evaluating the efficiency of public services : differences in efficiency in public services can offer clues about good practice
Johnes, Geraint - 2015
Efficiency is an important consideration for those who manage public services. Costs vary with output and with a variety of other factors. In the case of higher education, for example, factors include quality, student demographics, the scale and scope of the higher education provider, and the...

Comparing and selecting performance measures using rank correlations
Caporin, Massimiliano; Lisi, Francesco - 2011
The financial economics literature proposes dozens of performance measures to be used, for instance, to compare, analyse, rank and select assets. There is thus a problem: which measures should be considered? We extend the current literature by comparing a large set of performance measures over...

A note on the estimation of long-run relationships in panel equations with cross-section linkages
Di Iorio, Francesca; Fachin, Stefano - 2012
The authors address the issue of estimation and inference in dependent non-stationary panels of small cross-section dimensions. The main conclusion is that the best results are obtained applying bootstrap inference to single-equation estimators, such as fully modified ordinary least squares and...

Estimating standard errors for the Parks model : can jackknifing help?
Reed, W. Robert; Webb, Rachel S. - 2011
Non-spherical errors, namely heteroscedasticity, serial correlation and cross-sectional correlation are commonly present within panel data sets. These can cause significant problems for econometric analyses. The FGLS(Parks) estimator has been demonstrated to produce considerable efficiency gains...

Matching as a regression estimator : matching avoids making assumptions about the functional form of the regression equation, making analysis more reliable
Black, Dan A. - 2015
"Matching" is a statistical technique used to evaluate the effect of a treatment by comparing the treated and non …-treated units in an observational study. Matching provides an alternative to older estimation methods, such as ordinary least … remarkable increase in computing power since then has made other methods, in particular matching, very easy to implement. …
