In this paper, we measure the technical efficiency for local electricity distribution firms in Sweden, and in … particular how small- and micro-scale generation affects efficiency scores. Using two-stage data envelope analysis to model the … technical efficiency and a double bootstrap approach to estimate the determinants of inefficiencies, we show that firms are …

In this paper, we analyze the technical efficiency of CO2 reduction potentials of German power and heat plants, using a … energy generation technology, but natural gas fired power plants clearly have the highest efficiency. Furthermore, the …

sector, to improve its operational efficiency. Meanwhile, great concern about a range of environmental problems and global … study first adopts the game cross-efficiency approach to evaluate the environmental efficiency of the generation sectors in … indicate that efficiency gaps do exist among the regions even though overall efficiency has been improved. Despite the negative …

efficiency scores derived from stochastic frontier analysis. To correct for this heterogeneity in coefficients, I propose a …. This estimation has better goodness of fit, reduced variance of all coefficients, and higher efficiency scores for nearly …

This article examines the efficiency of wind energy production. We quantify production losses in four wind parks across … Germany for 19 wind turbines with non-convex efficiency analysis. In a second stage regression, we adapt the linear regression …
