Trade Unions and Economic Efficiency

The Economic Journal, 1983
In this paper, I shall investigate a role for trade unions in increasing economic efficiency. This role is enabling an improvement in the allocation of riskbearing between a firm and its employees. The essential idea is straightforward. If employers and employees are both risk averse, the optimal wage contract will not leave one party bearing all the ...

Trade restrictiveness and efficiency*

International Economic Review, 2003
This article proposes a trade restrictiveness quantity index (TRQI) to measure the welfare impact of trade restrictions based on a distance functions approach. The TRQI embodies two Farrell measures of efficiency—respectively for producers and consumers—that can be computed using standard efficiency measurement techniques.

Measuring trade efficiency [PDF]

, 2005
In this paper we use the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) window method to compare trade efficiency for 16 OECD countries and for the time period 1996–2000. From the analysis we obtained the efficiency scores and the optimal output levels for inefficient countries for all years under consideration. Results drawn from the broadly used ratio analysis were

Intermediaries and Trade Efficiency

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005
Bargaining with bilateral asymmetric information is generally not efficient. In this paper, I develop a theoretical model to show that firms can recapture trade efficiency and avoid this surplus loss by adding an intermediary to the trading mechanism.

Trade and efficiency of manufacturing industries in South Africa

Journal of International Trade and Economic Development, 2020
This paper advances and empirically tests the hypothesis that trade raises input-oriented technical efficiency through cost saving practices that reduce cost inefficiencies. Using a primal and dual True-Fixed-Effects (TFE) stochastic frontier approach on

Efficient Trade Space Exploration

2020 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2020
Two of the principal challenges in efficient trade space exploration are (1) quickly evaluating options, and (2) quickly convincing stakeholders to accept the results of the evaluation. This paper describes the process and tools that have led to a factor of nine improvement in the efficiency of trade space exploration of space systems in Team-X at the ...

Trade and Dynamic Efficiency

Kyklos, 1987
This paper studies possible impacts of international trade on domestic innovative activity. In the light of Schumpeterian ideas of dynamic efficiency, observed evidence of a positive relationship between static efficiency and trade may be undesirable. The paper examines the question by means of an econometric analysis of a huge data set of individual ...
