The purpose of this paper is to use the bootstrap resampling technique to calculate confidence intervals for efficiency … measures and Malmquist productivity indices. The efficiency and productivity measures are obtained from non-parametric linear … programming models using primal production data. The bootstrap procedure is applied on a sample of Swedish eye-care departments …

A deficiency of DEA is that the efficiency scores assigned to each firm are sensitive to sampling variations … is limited compared to the number of inputs and output. As a result, in case of small samples, DEA efficiency scores …

Since the introduction of bootstrap DEA there is a growing literature on applications which use this method, mainly for … hypothesis testing. It is therefore important to establish the consistency and evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA. The few … coverage probabilities are not a good tool of assessment. In our study we evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA using the …

In this study, we explore the pattern of efficiency among enterprises in China’s 29 provinces across different … performing a bootstrap-based analysis of group efficiencies (weighted and non-weighted), estimating and comparing densities of … efficiency distributions, and conducting a bootstrapped truncated regression analysis. We find evidence of interesting …

This paper analyses region-level technical efficiency in the European Union over the 1995 to 2007 period. We propose … of production congestion.
