Data Envelopment Analysis – a method for measuring the relative technical efficiency

Domagala, Anna - In: Operations Research and Decisions 3-4 (2007), pp. 21-34

efficiency. The idea of DEA method is illustrated by a simple example, where objects characterized by one input and one output … only are considered. Next, a the basic DEA model (CCR model) is described and conditions are given, based on which a unit … modifications may also consist in introducing nondiscretionary variables into DEA efficiency analysis or additional constrainsts to …

Efficiency isoquants as a function of input productivities or input - absorpition of outputs

Guzik, Bogusla - In: Operations Research and Decisions 3-4 (2007), pp. 57-70

Classic interpretation of the isoquant is well-known, e.g., the output isoquant informs us about the quantities of inputs that are needed to produce a given amount of output, assuming that the production technology is given. The article is an attempt to formulate an alternative interpretation of...

Efficiency Frontier and Matching Process on the Labour Market: Evidence from Tunisia

Abid, Anis Bou; Drine, Imed - World Institute for Development Economic Research … - 2010

This paper studies the determinants of the inefficient functioning of the Tunisian labour market. The study takes advantage of recent developments in the stochastic frontier techniques and estimates the matching function for Tunisia using disaggregated data. We include control variables as...

Identification of Segments of French Urban Public Transport with a Latent Class Frontier Model

Roy, William; Barros, Carlos - HAL - 2007

This paper analyses technical efficiency of French urban public transport from 1995 to 2002 with unbalanced panel data. The latent class frontier model is used allowing the identification of different segments in the production frontier. We find that there are three statistically significant...

Productivity analysis for Vietnam’s textile and garment industry

Thang, Nguyen; Thanh, To Trung; Dat, Vu Hoang - In: Philippine Review of Economics 43 (2006) 1, pp. 131-166

The study uses firm-level panel data to study the technical efficiency performance of Vietnam’s textile and garment firms in the period 1997-2000, as well as its determinants. The model used is that of Battese and Coelli [1995]. The average estimated technical efficiency of the two subsectors...

Spatial Stochastic Frontier Models

Lavado, Rouselle F.; Barrios, Erniel B. - Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), … - 2010

The stochastic frontier model with heterogeneous technical efficiency explained by exogenous variables is augmented with a sparse spatial autoregressive component for a cross-section data, and a spatial-temporal component for a panel data. An estimation procedure that takes advantage of the...
