Input Efficiency Profiling: An Application to Airlines

Input efficiency profiling: An application to airlines

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) can produce results which lack discrimination, one consequence of this is that a large proportion of decision-making units (DMUs) appear to be efficient. In addition, because it is a radial measure of efficiency it assumes that all inputs at a naturally enveloped production unit need to be reduced by the same proportion for efficiency to be achieved. It would see...

The directional distance function and measurement of super-efficiency: an application to airlines data

Lovell and Rouse (LR) have recently proposed a modification of the standard DEA model that overcomes the infeasibility problem often encountered in computing super-efficiency. In the LR procedure one appropriately scales up the observed input vector (scale down the output vector) of the relevant superefficient firm thereby usually creating its inefficient surrogate. An alternative procedure pro...

Measuring the Efficiency of European Airlines: An Application of DEA and Tobit Analysis

The liberalisation movement in European airlines industry was initiated in the late 1980s to create a more competitive environment. This has aimed to result in an increase in efficiency and productivity of the industry. The radical changes which have occurred since then have given risen to the need to evaluate the efficiency in the early phases of the liberalisation process. This study utilises...

Partitioning Input Cost Efficiency into Its Allocative and Technical Components. an Empirical Dea Application to Hospitals

The study presents an empirical analysis of best practice production and cost frontiers for a sample of 94 acute care hospitals by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a regression model, in a two-stage approach. This paper contributes to the DEA and efficiency measurement literatures by adding results from a homogeneous method of partitioning cost efficiency into its allocative (or pri...
