recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Health Economics"

DOI: 10.1002/hec.3557

Abstract: In this paper, we extend the 4-random-component closed skew-normal stochastic frontier model by including exogenous determinants of hospital persistent (long-run) and transient (short-run) inefficiency, separated from unobserved heterogeneity. We apply this new model to a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Productivity Analysis"

DOI: 10.1007/s11123-017-0519-1

Abstract: This paper proposes a dynamic multidirectional inefficiency analysis approach within the context of Data Envelopment Analysis to measuring input- and investment-specific managerial and program inefficiency for groups of firms characterized by different technologies. Dynamic managerial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12053-019-09821-y

Abstract: Canada has joined the few countries that have adopted carbon tax in an effort to mitigate CO2 emissions. Since consumption of fossil fuels is the primary source of CO2 emissions, the key mechanism for business… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12351-017-0339-0

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method to measure economic inefficiency of decision making units based on the calculation of the least distance to the Pareto-efficient frontier in data envelopment analysis. While all previously published approaches… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apenergy.2017.04.072

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the impacts of the Carbon Neutral Growth from 2020 strategy (CNG2020 strategy) on airline environmental inefficiency based on the predicted data of 29 international airlines during 2021–2023. The data is… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Economic Modelling"

DOI: 10.1016/j.econmod.2021.02.012

Abstract: Abstract Total cost inefficiency comprises technical inefficiency and allocative inefficiency. Measuring cost inefficiency with these two components has been challenging both theoretically and empirically. Current literature has provided some solutions. However, these solutions are restricted… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "International Journal of Production Economics"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpe.2018.04.023

Abstract: Abstract This paper addresses the endogeneity of inputs and output (which is mostly ignored in the stochastic frontier (SF) literature) in the SF panel data model under the behavioural assumption that firms maximize returns to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.triboint.2017.11.035

Abstract: A tribo-dynamics model, predicting the conjunctional inefficiency and dynamic response of automotive hypoid gear pairs is presented. A dynamics model is coupled with an analytical friction model (viscous and boundary). The temperature rise at the… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Applied Economics"

DOI: 10.1080/00036846.2020.1738327

Abstract: ABSTRACT This study shows how the estimates of production inefficiency and of the marginal effects of its determinants can be distorted if not accounting for technology and inefficiency heterogeneity. This is achieved by employing a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Econometric Reviews"

DOI: 10.1080/07474938.2024.2328905

Abstract: Abstract. We study a semiparametric panel stochastic frontier model with nonseparable unobserved heterogeneity, which allows for time-varying conditional heteroskedastic productivity components. It does not require distributional assumptions on random noise except conditional symmetry. We utilize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07474938.2025.2560639

Abstract: Abstract. This article is concerned with the significance testing of the effects of exogenous determinants upon the one-sided deviation term of a semiparametric stochastic frontier model. Two significance tests for all or a subset of… read more here.
