Phase I Completed: An Empirical Assessment of the 1990 CAAA

Swinton, John - In: Environmental & Resource Economics 27 (2004) 3, pp. 227-246

With the conclusion of Phase I trading of SO<Subscript>2</Subscript> allowances, the EPA declared the allowance trading policy to be a success. The time had come to include cap-and-trade programs in the arsenal of effective policy tools. In terms of reducing atmospheric emissions of sulfur dioxide, the program appears...</subscript>

A Distance Function Approach for Estimating Technical and Allocative Inefficiency

Karagiannis, G.; Kumbhakar, S. C.; Tsionas, E. G. - In: Indian Economic Review 39 (2004) January, pp. 19-30

This paper presents a procedure for measuring technical and allocative inefficiency in an input distance function … also be used. Thus we show that the input distance function approach provides information not only on the extent of input …

Luenberger Productivity Indicators: Aggregation Across Firms

Färe, R.; Primont, D. - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 20 (2003) 3, pp. 425-435

Two methods of aggregating Luenberger productivity indicators across firms are considered. One method makes use of some rather implausible allocative efficiency assumptions. The second method, a superlative index number approach, relies on more palatable assumptions and is judged to be the more...
