The Structure of Technical Efficiency
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1983It is common practice to decompose measures of efficiency into component measures of technical and allocative efficiency. In this paper we show how, and why, to decompose a general measure of technical efficiency into component measures of purely technical efficiency, congestion, and scale efficiency, and we investigate the properties of each measure ...

Measures of technical efficiency [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 1985 \textit{R. Färe} and \textit{C. A. K. Lovell} [ibid. 19, 150-162 (1978; Zbl 0398.90012)] suggest four properties that a measure of technical efficiency should satisfy; the commonly employed Debreu-Farrell measure fails three of them. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a measure to satisfy the four conditions are provided and recently proposed ...

X-efficiency and technical efficiency
Public Choice, 1994Efficiency measurement has become a very popular field in applied economics in recent years, and with this interest there has been a large intellectual investment in refining the empirical methods available to researchers in the area. In this paper we relate these developments to Harvey Leibenstein's original 1966 insight into the psychological ideas ...
