متن کاملR&D And Catch-Up Effect Among Software-As-A-Service Firms: A Stochastic Frontier Approach
Since its inception, SaaS market has been one of the fastest growing segments in the software industry. This paper is the first attempt to measure the productivity of pure-SaaS firms by adopting a stochastic frontier approach. Using an annual dataset from 2002 to 2009, we conduct a two-stage analysis. In the first stage, we derive the efficiency scores of each SaaS firm. We found average techni...
متن کاملTechnical Efficiency of Teaching Hospitals in Iran: The Use of Stochastic Frontier Analysis, 1999–2011
Background Hospitals are highly resource-dependent settings, which spend a large proportion of healthcare financial resources. The analysis of hospital efficiency can provide insight into how scarce resources are used to create health values. This study examines the Technical Efficiency (TE) of 12 teaching hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) between 1999 and 2...
متن کاملData Envelopment Analysis with LINGO Modeling for Technical Educational Group of an Organization
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was developed to help compare the relative performance of decision-making units. It is a non-parametric method for performing frontier analysis. It uses linear programming to estimate the efficiency of multiple decision-making units and it is commonly used in production, management and economics [3]. DEA generates an efficiency score between 0 and 1 for each unit...
