Computing Economies of Scope Using Robust Partial Frontier Nonparametric Methods
This paper proposes a methodology to examine economies of scope using the recent order-α nonparametric method. It allows us to investigate economies of scope by comparing the efficient order-α frontiers of firms that produce two or more goods with the efficient order-α frontiers of firms that produce only one good. To accomplish this, and because the order-α frontiers are irregular, we suggest ...
متن کاملA comparison of public and private schools in Spain using robust nonparametric frontier methods
This paper uses an innovative approach to evaluate educational performance of Spanish students in PISA 2009. Our purpose is to decompose their overall inefficiency between different components with a special focus on studying the differences between public and state subsidized private schools. We use a technique inspired by the non-parametric Free Disposal Hull (FDH) and the application of robu...
متن کاملAnalyzing Cost-Efficient Production Behavior Under Economies of Scope: A Nonparametric Methodology
Analyzing Cost Efficient Production Behavior Under Economies of Scope: A Nonparametric Methodology In designing a production model for firms that generate multiple outputs, we take as a starting point that such multi-output production refers to economies of scope, which in turn originate from joint input use and input externalities. We provide a nonparametric characterization of cost efficient ...
متن کاملEconomies of Scope and Patterns of Outsourcing
The paper suggests that the evolution of modern technologies in manufacturing, from economiesof-scale to economies-of-scope, plays a key role in the increasing outsourcing activities. It is shown that the divergence in the degrees of economies-of-scope and the attribute space of the products between different stages of production is the fundamental economic force behind the recent trend of outs...
متن کاملRobust fault detection using analytical and soft computing methods
The paper focuses on the problem of robust fault detection using analytical methods and soft computing. Taking into account the model-based approach to Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI), possible applications of analytical models, and first of all observers with unknown inputs, are considered. The main objective is to show how to employ the bounded-error approach to determine the uncertainty ...
