Allocative vs. Technical Spectrum Efficiency
Achieving allocative and technically efficient spectrum management is a key aspect of deregulatory reforms in several OECD countries. However, reform legislation offers few clues as to how these objectives should rank when they conflict with one another. An `innocent' prior acquisition of service-neutral spectrum at an efficiently run auction may prove allocative efficient but fail to be techni...
متن کاملTechnical and allocative efficiency in European banking
This paper specifies an empirical framework for estimating both technical and allocative efficiency, which is applied to a large panel of European banks over the years 1996 to 2003. Our methodology allows for self-consistent measurement of technical and allocative inefficiency, in an effort to address the issue known in the literature as the Greene problem. The results suggest that, on average,...
متن کاملEfficiency improvement in the operating room.
BACKGROUND In the changing health care environment, health systems, hospitals, and health care providers must focus on improving efficiency to meet an increasing demand for high-quality, low-cost health care. Much has been written about strategies and efforts to improve efficiency in the perioperative periods, yet the time when the patient is in the operating room-the intraoperative period-has ...
متن کاملImpact of changed management policies on operating room efficiency
BACKGROUND To increase operating room (OR) efficiency, a new resource allocation strategy, a new policy for patient urgency classification, and a new system for OR booking was implemented at a tertiary referral hospital. We investigated the impact of these interventions. METHODS We carried out a before-and-after study using OR data. A total of 23,515 elective (planned) and non-elective (unpla...
متن کاملAn Investigation of the Technical and Allocative Efficiency of
The technical and allocative efficiency of broadacre farmers in a southern region of Western Australia is investigated over a three-year period. Applying data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) reveals there is some inefficiency in each year, which decreases over time. The distributions of technical efficiency in each year are positively skewed toward higher effic...
