The objective of this study is to conduct an analysis of the efficiency and productivity of a thermal power generation plant in the Indian public sector. This analysis has been carried out using the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology, focusing on the period from 2014-15...

We pioneer the estimation of technological progress parameters for Russia in the framework of the neoclassical theory. Implementing the CES production function (CES PF hereafter) as an instrument of output description, we construct a system of cointegrated time series which guarantee no spurious...

Technical efficiency measures the performance of an observation unit in generating outputs effectively. The stochastic production frontier (SPF), which is a commonly used method for this purpose, determines how close a unit is to achieving maximum output based on its inputs. However, the...

This study evaluates urbanization's impact on carbon emission rights value in China using translog production functions and carbon shadow pricing models. Firstly, the MK trend test and decoupling analysis divided the city into four carbon emission pressure types, where an enhanced translog...
