An extended farrell technical efficiency measure
Journal of Economic Theory, 1984When the efficient subsets and isoquants of the input level sets of a production technology are not equal, the conventional Debreu-Farrell efficiency index is not a reliable indicator of the efficiency of inputs usage. On the other hand, it possesses the property of being homogeneous of degree minus one in the inputs whose efficiency level is being ...

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF MACEDONIAN PIG FARMS
2012The economic transition and market globalization processes has triggered structural changes in the Macedonian agriculture. Pig producers face challenges to meet the new market requirements and regulations which cause inefficient and less competitive production compared to foreign markets. This paper aims to identify the level of technical efficiency on

Education and Technical Efficie [PDF]
The Pakistan Development Review, 1988 It is now well recognized that education expedites the process of growth in an economy. In agriculture, leaving aside the external effects, it affects productivity in two quite distinct ways known as the allocative effect and the worker effect (Welch" 1970).

Technical Efficiency in Stock Markets
2006Much of our understanding of the way stock exchanges may develop will depend on empirical evidence on their structures and how they have been evolving over recent years. If we can see that there are strong economies of scale, for example, then we can expect that the larger stock exchanges will either drive the smaller out of business as barriers ...

Technical efficiency and institutional variables [PDF]
Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics, 1994 The influence of institutional variables on the degree of technical efficiency at collecting household waste is obtained using regression involving dummy variables. The analysis concerned Swiss municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants. The mean degree of efficiency increases significantly (at 5%) when a municipality sub-contracts the service ...

Efficiency of trucks in logistics: technical efficiency and scale efficiency
Asian Journal on Quality, 2010PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a scheme to estimate the technical efficiency of trucks engaged in logistics and to analyze the properties of efficiency. The objectives are to determine individual‐truck level technical efficiency using both radial and non‐radial measures for freight trucks, to calculate the degree of input overuse.Design/

Technical efficiency of UK airports
Journal of Air Transport Management, 2008Abstract In this paper, the random stochastic frontier model is used to estimate the technical efficiency of UK airports. The airports are ranked according to their productivity for the period 2000–2005 and homogenous and heterogeneous variables in the cost function are disentangled. These changes the ranking of the efficiency of UK airports compared
