Directional Distance Function Technical Efficiency of Chili Production in Thailand

Measurement of dynamic efficiency, a directional distance function parametric approach

This research proposes a parametric estimation of the structural dynamic efficiency measures proposed by Silva and Oude Lansink (2009). Overall, technical and allocative efficiency measurements are derived based on a directional distance function and the duality between this function and the optimal value function. The applicability of the parametric proposal is illustrated by assessing dynamic...

Decomposing profit efficiency using a slack-based directional distance function

This paper develops a slack-based decomposition of profit efficiency based on a directional distance function.

Dynamic Efficiency Analysis using a Directional Distance Function

Measurement of prot inefficiency in presence of interval data using the directional distance function

In many applied programs in real-life problems, both physical inputs and outputsare heterogeneous which in this case the ecient cost and income modelcan not apply to evaluate the cost and income of related turnover. So, a measurementbased on the directional value of prot was presented which we havedeveloped it in this paper and have computed it for interval data. In fact, wehave measured the in...

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
