The effects of geographic expansion on the productivity of Spanish savings banks
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 32 - Trang 119-143 - 2009
This article analyzes the effects of geographic expansion on the productivity of Spanish savings banks. The study uses data from 1992 to 2004, the period when most savings banks expanded geographically. We consider an alternative approach to most multi-stage studies, which uses nonparametric methods both to measure productivity growth and to analyze its relationship with branch office expansion.

Opening the black box: Finding the source of cost inefficiency
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 - Trang 209-220 - 2007
Parametric and nonparametric procedures are used to identify the apparent source of cost inefficiency in banking. Inefficiencies of 20–25% from earlier studies are reduced to 1–5% when, in addition to commonly specified cost function influences, variables reflecting banks’ external business environment and industry indicators of “productivity” are added. These productivity indicators explain most ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cost and profit efficiency of conventional and Islamic banks in GCC countries
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 34 - Trang 45-62 - 2009
Using stochastic frontier approach, this paper investigates the cost and profit efficiency levels of 71 commercial banks in Gulf cooperation council countries over the period 1999–2007. This study also conducts a comparative analysis of the efficiency across countries and between conventional and Islamic banks. Moreover, we examine the bank-specific variables that may explain the sources of ineffi...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluating the Adequacy of Parametric Functional Forms in Estimating Monotone and Concave Production Functions
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 111-132 - 2002
We consider situations where the a priori guidance provided by theoretical considerations indicates only that the function linking the endogenous and exogenous variables is monotone and concave (or convex). We present methods to evaluate the adequacy of a parametric functional form to represent the relationship given the minimal maintained assumption of monotonicity and concavity (or convexity). W...... hiện toàn bộ
Centralized or decentralized control of school resources? A network model
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 139-150 - 2013
The typical school district in the US consists of a central office overseeing primary, middle and high schools. The school district budget is allocated between the central administration and the constituent schools, who can spend these funds on personnel and non-personnel. We model this allocation problem as a network data envelopment analysis problem which solves for the technically efficient al...... hiện toàn bộ
Some extensions of techniques to handle non-discretionary factors in data envelopment analysis
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 419-432 - 1993
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) assumes, in most cases, that all inputs and outputs are controlled by the Decision Making Unit (DMU). Inputs and/or outputs that do not conform to this assumption are denoted in DEA asnon-discretionary (ND) factors. Banker and Morey [1986] formulated several variants of DEA models which incorporated ND with ordinary factors. This article extends the Banker and Morey...... hiện toàn bộ

Efficiency Gains and Cost Reductions from Individual Transferable Quotas: A Stochastic Cost Frontier for the Australian South East Fishery
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 285-307 - 2005
In this paper efficiency gains and associated cost reductions from increases in traded quota are estimated with a stochastic cost frontier for the Australian South East Trawl Fishery (SETF). Estimation of this frontier also provides key information on the relative importance of input costs in the SETF, returns to scale, variations in costs as a result of trade in quota and the economic performance...... hiện toàn bộ
