Tone, Kaoru; Sahoo, Biresh - 2012

We propose a new scheme for measuring scale elasticity of production based on a new cost efficiency model developed in Tone (2002). Comparing our model with classical model we establish the superiority of our model over the latter based on the premise that the classical estimates of cost...

Returns to Growth in a Nonparametric DEA Approach

Sahoo, Biresh; Kerstens, Kristiaan; Tone, Kaoru - 2012

In this contribution, first the concept of returns to growth (RTG) of a high-tech firm facing hyper-competition in the new economy is introduced by describing a proportional relationship between growth in inputs and growth in outputs using the growth efficiency (GE) model of Sengupta (2002)....

Evaluating Cost Efficiency and Returns to Scale in the Life Insurance Corporation of India Using Data Envelopment Analysis

Tone, Kaoru; Sahoo, Biresh - 2012

This paper applies a new variant of data envelopment analysis model to examine the performance of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India. The findings show a significant heterogeneity visible in the cost efficiency scores within 19 years. The decline in performance after 1994-95 can be taken...

Degree of Scale Economies and Congestion : A Unified DEA Approach

Tone, Kaoru; Sahoo, Biresh - 2012

There are increasing concerns about how increase in congestion can adversely affect output as well as about the relative benefit-cost ratio or return on investment associated with alternative projects or policies to address those problems. Regardless of what policy strategies are used to address...
