According to a frequently cited finding by Berger et al (1993), X-inefficiency contributes 20% to cost-inefficiency in western banks. Empirical studies of Chinese banks tend to place cost-inefficiency in the region of 50%. Such estimates would suggest that Chinese banks suffer from gross cost inefficiency. Using a nonparametric bootstrapping method, this study decomposes cost-inefficiency in Ch...

The article is devoted to one of the most interesting theoretical and practical problems of Russian science of administrative law – administrative acts. It appears that many difficulties encountered in the domestic law enforcement and judicial practice are associated with poor elaboration of the theory of acts in the science of administrative law in Russia, and, accordingly, insufficient legal ...

This study demarcates cost-inefficiency in Chinese banks into X-inefficiency and rent-seeking-inefficiency. A protected banking market not only encourages weak management and X-inefficiency but also public ownership and state directed lending encourages moral hazard and bureaucratic rent seeking. This paper uses bootstrap non-parametric techniques to estimate measures of X-inefficiency and rent...

BACKGROUND The performance of routine and supplemental immunization activities is usually measured by the administrative method: dividing the number of doses distributed by the size of the target population. This method leads to coverage estimates that are sometimes impossible (e.g., vaccination of 102% of the target population), and are generally inconsistent with the proportion found to be va...

Using the US states plus the District of Columbia, output-oriented innovative efficiency scores are computed using data envelopment analysis (DEA) where total patent counts serve as the measure of innovative output and industry and academic research and development expenditures, and numbers of research scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral positions are inputs. In the second stage the...
