In this paper method and practice of cross-efficiency calculation is discussed. The main methods proposed in the literature are tested not on a set of artificial data but on a realistic sample of input-output data of European warehouses. The empirical results show the limited role which...

We provide an axiomatic foundation for efficiency measurement in the full space, referred to as "graph efficiency" measurement by Färe, Grosskopf, and Lovell [1985]. We posit four types of axioms: indication, monotonicity, independence of units of measurement, and continuity. We analyze six...

A framework for applied production theory should focus on the crucial features of the industry to be studied. First of all, to be useful for a dynamic study, a distinction has to be made between the theoretical production possibilities before investment takes place and the actual empirical...
