regression is fitted to identify which elements suggested in the literature are the most influential on the technical efficiency … levels of expenditure and basic health achievements; (b) that spatial patterns of efficiency are correlated to economic … performance, but also to locally specific relevant differences; (c) and that positive determinants of efficiency are given by …

policies on municipal mergers were enacted to foster this sort of efficiency. We examine changes in the distribution of …

Airport benchmarking depends on airport operational performance and efficiency indicators, which are important issues … complex indicators to evaluate airports performance and efficiency as well as several techniques to benchmark such … infrastructures. The general aim of this work is the development of airport performance and efficiency predictive models using robust …

We measure technical efficiency in R&D of Italian regions with the aim of understanding whether the variation in … transport infrastructure endowment across regions might be the cause of efficiency disparities. We use a semi-parametric method … where in the first step we estimate bootstrapped efficiency scores through DEA. In the second step, efficiency scores are …

decomposition approach. We empirically explored the extent to which interprovincial differentials in efficiency explain Indonesia … hardly interpretive, contributing to overall inequality. To incorporate efficiency factors, we estimated the production … frontier and efficiency score of each observation point, using the data envelopment analysis of Coelli et al. (1998). We …

efficiency of the strategies is below expected. Due to lack of allocated financial sources the strategic plans seem to be only …
