In this paper, the Free Coordination Hull (FCH) approach developed by Green and Cook (2004) is combined with the Free Disposal Hull (FDH) model to detect potential gains from specialization. As a non-convex approach that allows both directly observed and summed Decision Making Units to define the production technology, FCH is the relevant model for analysing optimal reallocation of activity amo...

This research aims to analyze the efficiency level of fourteen Zakat Management Organizations (ZMO) in Indonesia. study uses a quantitative approach with method Free Disposal Hull (FDH) and Super Efficiency (SE) method. Socialization Expense, Operational Salary Expense are input variables, while zakah fund collection distribution become output variables. Empirical findings show that ZMO Corp 4 ...

We will start with a simple geometric problem, the computation of the convex hull of a finite set of points in the plane. We will formulate a basic algorithm that constructs the planar hull in quadratic time. It accesses the input points through a single predicate, the orientation predicate for three points. We will see how this predicate can be realized by a simple formula in the point coordin...

The provision of local public services has become one the main concerns governments. Therefore, selection most appropriate form management to maximize efficiency levels in been widely analyzed throughout academic literature. In this context, aim paper is add new knowledge literature on services. To end, we propose study four forms (interested indirect management; by concession; intermunicipal c...

Economic efficiency—understood in terms of jurisdictions providing a maximum amount of output for a given level of inputs—is one potential means to evaluate public policies. Various approaches, however, co-exist to measure the (technical) efficiency of organizations. Given that these rely on different underlying assumptions, it is important to assess whether, and to what extent, the approach ta...

It is well-known that the naive bootstrap yields inconsistent inference in the context of data envelopment analysis (DEA) or free disposal hull (FDH) estimators in nonparametric frontier models. For inference about efficiency of a single, fixed point, drawing bootstrap pseudo-samples of size m < n provides consistent inference, although coverages are quite sensitive to the choice of subsample s...

In this paper, we aim to overcome three major shortcomings of the FDH (Free Disposal Hull) directional distance function through developing two new, named Linear and Fractional CDFDH, complete FDH measures of efficiency. To accomplish this, we integrate the concepts of similarity and FDH directional distance function. We prove that the proposed measures are translation invariant and unit invari...

In dieser Studie wird ein internationaler Effizienzvergleich der Stromverteilung in osteuropäischen Transformationsländern durchgeführt. Wir beziehen uns hierbei auf Polen, die Tschechische Republik, die Slowakei sowie Ungarn, und vergleichen die relative technische Effizienz der Regionalverteiler untereinander. Zum anderen wird die Effizienz mit denen der deutschen Regionalverteiler verglichen...
