A semiflexible normalized quadratic inverse demand system: an application to the price formation of fish

Bishop, Richard C.; Holt, Matthew T. - In: Empirical Economics 27 (2002) 1, pp. 23-47

We propose a new inverse demand system, the normalized quadratic distance function, which is similar to the normalized …

Hölder Distance Function and Measurement of Technical Efficiency

Briec, W. - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 11 (1999) 2, pp. 111-131

shortage function (Luenberger (1995) and the directional distance function (Chambers, Chung and Färe (1995–96)). Along this … line, we provide mathematical programs to compute the Holder distance function. However, this has a perverse property that … commensurable Holder distance function invariant with respect to a change in the units of measurement. Among other things we obtain …

A Multiple Output Stochastic Ray Frontier Production Model

Löthgren, Mickael - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1997

This paper proposes an approach to specify and estimate multiple input, multiple output production frontiers and technical efficiency using a stochastic ray frontier production model A possible model extension is to incorporate a technical efficiency effects model to allow estimation of the...

On the Consistency of the DEA-based Average Technical Efficiency Bootstrap

Löthgren, Mickael - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1997

This paper shows that the bootstrap algorithm for average technical efficiency by Atkinson and Wilson (1995) should be applied with great care for the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) estimator if the production frontier is stochastic. A stochastic frontier implies that the DEA estimator is...

Integrating Consumer satisfaction into Productivity Indexes

Färe, Rolf; Grosskopf, Shawna; Roos, Pontus - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1996

by using Shephard’s preference indirect distance function to model technology subject to a utility target. The utility … constraint allows us to include information on consumer satisfaction. The preference indirect distance function is then used to …

Generalized Stochastic Frontier Production Models

Löthgren, Mickael - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1996

This paper proposes a generalization of the single output stochastic production frontier model. The generalization allows estimation of production frontiers and distance functions (technical efficiency) for multiple output technologies using cross section or panel data on inputs and outputs.

Productivity and Costumer Satisfaction - A DEA Network Model

Löthgren, Mickael; Tambour, Magnus - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1996

This paper presents a network model incorporating customer satisfaction into efficiency and productivity measures. The network consists of a production node and a consumption node and offers flexibility in modelling the production and consumption process. Allocation of input resources to...
