The Economic Meaning of Data Envelopment Analysis: a "Behavioral" Perspective

De Rock, Bram; Cherchye, Laurens - European Centre for Advanced Research in Economics and … - 2013

We reconsider the motivation of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the non-parametrictechnique that is widely employed … conventional engineering motivationof DEA can be problematic since it often builds on unverifiable production axioms. Wethen … provide a dual viewpoint and highlight the `behavioral' interpretation of DEA models.We start from a specification of the …

Firm and Industry Level Profit Efficiency Analysis Under Incomplete Price Data : A Nonparametric Approach Based on Absolute and Uniform Shadow Prices

Kuosmanen, Timo - 2007

We discuss the nonparametric approach to profit efficiency analysis at the firm and industry levels in the absence of complete price information, and propose two new insights. First, choosing one commodity (whose price is known) as a numeraire good enables us to measure profit inefficiency in...

Neoclassical Characterization of Returns to Scale in Nonparametric Production Analysis

Sahoo, Biresh - 2015

From an empirical perspective, this paper critically examines the concepts of returns to scale (RTS) and economies of scale (EOS), and argues that the concept of EOS is more relevant and broader enough to exhibit proper scale economies behavior of firms. Two approaches, i.e., production function...

Returns to Growth in a Nonparametric DEA Approach

Sahoo, Biresh; Kerstens, Kristiaan; Tone, Kaoru - 2012

In this contribution, first the concept of returns to growth (RTG) of a high-tech firm facing hyper-competition in the new economy is introduced by describing a proportional relationship between growth in inputs and growth in outputs using the growth efficiency (GE) model of Sengupta (2002)....

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 … frontiers across samples of producers. Until now, no exact tests for examining returns to scale assumptions in DEA, or for test … test for the hypothesis of constant returns to scale in DEA. The others are tests for general frontier differences and …
