Exact tests on returns to scale and comparisons of production frontiers in nonparametric models

Rønn-Nielsen, Anders; Kronborg, Dorte; Asmild, Mette - 2019

When benchmarking production units by non-parametric methods like data envelopment analysis (DEA), an assumption has to be made about the returns to scale of the underlying technology. Moreover, it is often also relevant to compare the frontiers across samples of producers. Until now, no exact...

Measurement of returns to scale using non-radial DEA models

Krivonozhko, Vladimir E.; Førsund, Finn R.; Lychev, … - 2012

There are some specific features of the non-radial DEA (data envelopment analysis) models which cause some problems under the returns to scale measurement. In the scientific literature on DEA, some methods were suggested to deal with the returns to scale measurement in the non-radial DEA models....

Driving factors of growth in Hungary - a decomposition exercise

Kátay, Gábor; Wolf, Zoltán - 2008

Applications tend to ignore that measured TFP reflects the variation of output that cannot be explained by changes in inputs. Such a change is not necessarily technological, so measured TFP differences across firms are an amalgam of technological, efficiency and other differences in attributes,...

Measuring Residential Energy Efficiency Improvements with DEA

Grösche, Peter - 2008

This paper measures energy efficiency improvements of US single-family homes between 1997 and 2001 using a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, an indicator of energy efficiency is derived by means of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and the analogy between the DEA estimator and traditional...
