Hypothesis testing and statistical precision in the context of nonparametric efficiency and productivity measurement … noticeable in the case of banking efficiency studies, where the literature is immense. In this paper, we explore productivity … improvement in production possibilities, and that mean efficiency has remained fairly constant over time. The bootstrap analysis …

A rich literature on the analysis of efficiency in production has developed since pioneering work of Tjalling Koopmans … some shape constraints, in multiple dimensions. New results that enable inference about mean efficiency as well as tests of … convexity, returns to scale, differences in mean efficiency and the separability condition described by Simar and Wilson …

In productivity and efficiency analysis, the technical efficiency of a production unit is measured through its distance … viewed as additive (rather than multiplicative) measures efficiency. Directional distance functions are not restricted to non … develop consistent bootstrap procedures for statistical inference about directional distance, estimation of confidence …
