The objective of this paper is to discuss the use of modern frontier efficiency analysis to analyze firm performance in … research to incorporate the frontier efficiency approach. The chapter also serves as a guide for those who are already … conducting frontier efficiency analysis but are seeking guidance in using the methodology or defining inputs and outputs. We …

The German potable water supply industry is regarded highly fragmented, thus preventing efficiency improvements that … of 364 German water utilities in 2006, applying Data Envelopment Analysis, to analyze the potential efficiency gains from … hypothetical mergers between water utilities at the county level. A conditional efficiency framework is applied to account for the …

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficiency of the banks in Lithuania by employing the DEA method and … evaluate bank performance in a low interest rate environment. The efficiency scores were calculated with a non … validate the results obtained using the DEA method. The Lithuanian bank’s efficiency analysis based on the VRS assumption shows …

In this paper, we discuss the use of efficiency as one of the basic … measures used to assess the functioning of the banking sector. The aim of this study is to examine the efficiency of the …

This study explains the differences and variances in the efficiency scores of the Vietnamese banking sector retrieved … mainly based on frontier efficiency measurements, which essentially are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic … efficiency, whilst the opposite is true for the data type, and sample size. …

In this study, performance and its basic concepts, efficiency, and productivity, are explained and performance … measurement methods are discussed. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to measure efficiency in multi …-criteria problems and to determine the weights of criteria for efficiency measurement. With the help of the Data Envelopment Analysis …

Further, the Tobit regression model is used in the second stage to … average efficiency scores of public sector banks (PSBs) are higher than private banks. The Z-score indicates that both PSBs … levels are significantly related to all types of efficiencies for private banks. On the other hand, the efficiency of PSBs is …
