Hence, we titled our cluster “Productivity and Efficiency Analysis,” and we invited scholars from countries around the wo

A Comparison of Parametric and Non-Parametric Efficiency Measures: The Case of Norwegian Ferries,ferries are run by private companies, but at a loss. The deficits are covered by the Ministry of Transport. The subsidies have risen rapidly in the last years and have focussed attention on whether the ferries are really run as efficiently as possible. To change the incentives to economize, a lump-s

Allowing for Inefficiency in Parametric Estimation of Production Functions for Urban Transit Firms,arametric production frontiers are obtained by means of estimating translog production functions through OLS applied to the subset of efficient observations only. Technical progress is included at both stages. Monthly data from three urban transit firms in Belgium, to which this two-stage technique

The Relative Efficiency of Public versus Private Municipal Bus Firms: An Application of Data Envelos (revenue or the measure combining vehicle kilometers, revenue and the number of traffic trips on routes) was used as the output measure, it concluded that the publicly owned Taipei Municipal Bus had increased (not increased) its technical efficiency after the government liberalized the urban bus m

Technical Inefficiency and Productive Decline in the U.S. Interstate Natural Gas Pipeline Industry al Gas Policy Act are estimated by two alternative methodologies. A new panel stochastic frontier systems estimator exploits the potential exogeneity of certain regressors from firm effects. This allows for heterogeneity in slopes, as well as in intercepts. Patterns of technical efficiency based on
