Kemeny's rule and Slater''s rule: A binary comparison

Klamler, Christian - In: Economics Bulletin 4 (2003) 35, pp. 1-7

The purpose of this paper is to provide a binary comparison of two distance-based preference aggregation rules, Slater's rule and Kemeny''s rule. It will be shown that for certain lists of individual preferences the outcomes will be antagonistic in the sense that what is considered best...

¿CUÁL ES EL COSTO DE LA CONTAMINACIÓN AMBIENTAL MINERA SOBRE LOS RECURSOS HÍDRICOS EN EL PERÚ?

Herrera, Pedro; Millones, Oscar - Departamento de Economía, Pontificia Universidad … - 2011

This study estimates the economic cost of mining pollution on water resources for the years 2008 and 2009 based on the conceptual framework of Environmental Efficiency (Pittman, 1981.1983, Färe et al., 1989, 1993, 2003; Rao, 2000). This framework understands such costs as the mining companies...

Investment in Pollution Abatement and Productivity Change in Canadian Regional Pulp and Paper Industries

Hailu, Atakelty; Veeman, Terrence S. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2002

The performance of pulp and paper industries in four Canadian regions is compared based on the estimation of an input distance function both with and without pollutant outputs. The environmentally sensitive approach provides higher productivity growth estimates for all regions, indicating the...

Technical and Economic Efficiency Measures Under Short Run Profit Maximizing Behavior

Cherchye, Laurens; Kuosmanen, Timo; Leleu, Hervé - In: Recherches économiques de Louvain 76 (2010) 2, pp. 163-173

The duality between measures of economic and technical efficiency has been extensively studied in the productive efficiency analysis. This duality ensures a meaningful interpretation of technical efficiency as economic efficiency evaluated at the most favorable shadow prices. This paper...

Distance Functions and Efficiency Measurement

PASTOR, JESUS T.; APARICIO, JUAN - In: Indian Economic Review 45 (2010) 2, pp. 193-231

In this survey we present, for the first time, a classification scheme for distance functions, considering two broad … groups: the multiplicative and the additive distance functions. Guiding empirical work is one of the major objectives of this … paper; for this reason we consider only linear distance functions within a Data Envelopment Analysis framework. This also …
