In this paper, the two innovative non-parametric models, the Luenberger productivity model and the Luenberger-Hicks-Moorsteen productivity indicator, are used to estimate the productivity of UK airports. The airports are ranked according to their total productivity over ten years showing that...

This paper investigates the impact of airline market structure on airport productivity, in which airlines are viewed as downstream users of an airport in a vertical airport–airlines structure. Our estimation is based on a sample of eleven major airports in Northeast Asia. A standard...

This study introduces a new scheme of data envelopment analysis (DEA) named cost gradient measure (CGM) to evaluate technical efficiency. In this model, we can obtain more cost conscious technical efficiency than those by other traditional DEA models such as CCR[7] and slacks-based measure (SBM)...

This research extends the Farrell-based returns to scale methodology into Russell and Additive models in three ways with the focus of relationships between interior points and projected points. First, we present and prove four theorems that identify the scale nature. Second, we compare these...

The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficiency measurement model by enhancing a CCR (Charnes–Cooper–Rhodes) model and then to prove that the enhanced model satisfies five desirable properties: indication, strict monotonicity, homogeneity, continuity and units unvariance. In order for...

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...
