In this paper, a dynamic network DEA model is developed to evaluate the potential gains in final output from a merger of two firms. The two firms are allowed to have different production technologies or share a common technology. In a beginning period each firm uses period specific inputs to...

Estimates from a directional output distance function are used to construct a risk/return frontier that defines the best-practice management technology for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). We model REIT performance as a production process in which each REIT produces a desirable output...

The turbulent real estate market during the early 1990's coincided with the implementation of risk-based capital standards for commercial banks. In this study we use nonparametric linear programming techniques to identify the lost real estate lending due to bank inefficiency. Inefficiency may...

We use nonparametric linear programming methods to calculate the directional distance function and the profit function for a random sample of banks from 1994 to 1999. The estimates imply that the gain in small-business lending from reducing technical inefficiency is minor compared to the gain...

This paper studies the performance of nineteen private commercial banks and two government-owned banks in Bangladesh during the period 2005–2008 using a slacks-based inefficiency measure and the directional technology distance function. Performance is measured assuming a black-box production...
