A conditional directional distance function approach for measuring regional environmental efficiency: Evidence from UK regions
(2013)This paper, by using conditional directional distance functions as introduced by Simar and Vanhems [J. Econometrics 166 (2012) 342-354] modifies the model by Fare and Grosskopf [Eur. J. Operat. Res. 157 (2004) 242-245] and ... -
A conditional nonparametric analysis for measuring the efficiency of regional public healthcare delivery: An application to Greek prefectures
(2011)Objectives: The purpose of this study is to measure the Greek public healthcare delivery efficiency from a regional perspective by applying conditional nonparametric models. Methods: The study reviews the existing literature ... -
Corruption and Economic Efficiency: Panel Data Evidence
(2010)This paper investigates empirically the effect of corruption on countries' economic efficiency. By using a sample of 79 countries for the time period 2000-2006 the paper applies DEA window analysis and econometric panel ... -
Crime and the effectiveness of public order spending in Greece: Policy implications of some persistent findings
(2013)Increasing crime rates invariably result in calls for more police protection which requires the allocation of additional scarce resources to policing and public order. In an environment of fiscal pressures, the effectiveness ... -
THE EFFECT OF ACCESS TO IMPROVED WATER SOURCES AND SANITATION ON ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY: THE CASE OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES
(2012)This paper evaluates the effect of access to improved water sources and sanitation on 41 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries' economic efficiency and growth. For this reason data envelopment analysis (DEA), bootstrap ... -
The effect of foreign ownership on SMEs performance: An efficiency analysis perspective
(2010)This paper uses both Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Free Disposal Hull (FDH) models in order to determine different performance levels in a sample of 353 foreign equities operating in the Greek manufacturing sector. ... -
Estimating the degree of operating efficiency gains from a potential bank merger and acquisition: A DEA bootstrapped approach
(2013)We propose a bootstrapped Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-based procedure to pre-calculate and pre-evaluate the short-run operating efficiency gains of a potential bank merger or acquisition (M&A). As an illustrative ... -
Industry performance evaluation with the use of financial ratios: An application of bootstrapped DEA
(2012)In data envelopment analysis (DEA) context financial data/ratios have been used in order to produce a unified measure of performance metric. However, several scholars have indicated that the inclusion of financial ratios ... -
Measuring biodiversity performance: A conditional efficiency measurement approach
(2010)This paper uses a methodological framework based on the new advances of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a sample of 71 developed, developing and under-developed countries to model and evaluate their biodiversity ... -
Measuring regional economic efficiency: the case of Greek prefectures
(2010)This paper, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), measures for the first time the economic growth policies of the Greek prefectures. Based on the neoclassical model of growth it uses private and public investments and ... -
Measuring the effect of Kyoto protocol agreement on countries' environmental efficiency in CO2 emissions: an application of conditional full frontiers
(2014)This paper applies the probabilistic approach developed by Daraio and Simar (J Prod Anal 24:93-121, 2005, Advanced robust and nonparametric methods in efficiency analysis. Springer Science, New York, 2007a, J Prod Anal ... -
Modelling Regional Welfare Efficiency Applying Conditional Full Frontiers
(2011)This paper demonstrates an evaluation of welfare policies and regional allocation of public investment using the recent developments in efficiency analysis and statistical inference. Specifically, the efficiency of the ... -
Regional sustainability efficiency index in Europe: an additive two-stage DEA approach
(2015)In this paper we apply a relational additive two-stage data envelopment analysis model in order to create sustainability efficiency indices for European regions. The sustainability efficiency indices are decomposed into ... -
Renewable energy consumption and economic efficiency: Evidence from European countries
(2013)This paper examines the relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic efficiency. For this reason, conditional Data Envelopment Analysis estimators alongside with nonparametric regressions are applied in ... -
Trade efficiency and economic development: evidence from a cross country comparison
(2008)Economic theory suggests that development is enhanced through income growth, which is driven through increased trade. However, the empirical evidence of such a relationship most of the times is proved to be weak. In this ... -
Weight assurance region in two-stage additive efficiency decomposition DEA model: an application to school data
(2015)In this paper we use the additive efficiency decomposition approach in two-stage data envelopment analysis. Initially, we evaluate the variable returns to scale version and face a structural difficulty of the model. In an ...
