Rail efficiency : cost research and its implications for policy ; prepared for the Roundtable: Efficiency in Railway Operations and Infrastructure Management ; 18 - 19 November 201...
Smith, Andrew S. J.; Nash, Chris - 2014 - December 2014
In this paper we first consider alternative measures of efficiency. We explain why simple partial productivity measures are inadequate as the basis of overall measures of efficiency, and outline two alternative approaches. The first is technical efficiency - the degree to which output is...
