Digital economies and evolving regulations : a parametric and non-parametric approach with bad output across countries
Mishra, Shila; Chauhan, Manish; Mathur, Somesh K. - 2022
We use the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to workout efficiency and productivity of the ICT sector across 50 countries for the time period 2016 and 2020. By considering OECD -DSTRI index as bad output, the study intends to...
