Malmquist indexes with quasi-fixed inputs: an application to school districts in Québec
In a non-market environment, there is no pressure coming from competitors that leads firms toward efficiency. Public education system is the target of many critiques as being such an example of inefficiency. Some papers attempted to measure the level of inefficiency of schools or school districts using different methods. Unfortunately, those methods do not include an important aspect of the sch...
متن کاملAn Additive Model for Estimation Return to Scale in Regulated Environment with Quasi-Fixed Inputs in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
The measurement of RTS amounts measures a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many different ways to calculate RTS in primal or dual space. But in more realistic cases, governments usually intervene on DMU’s behavior as regulatory agency, this clearly represent a set of limitations and restrictions on behaviors of DMUs, So very few decisions in DMUs are ...

متن کاملAggregation of Malmquist productivity indexes
In this paper we extend the work of Färe and Zelenyuk (2003) to find a theoretically justified method of aggregating Malmquist Productivity Indexes over individual decision making units (firms, countries, etc.) into a group Malmquist Productivity Index. We also consider the aggregation of decomposed parts of the Malmquist Productivity Index to obtain a decomposition of the Malmquist Productivit...
متن کاملMalmquist indexes using a geometric distance function (GDF). Application to a sample of Portuguese bank branches
Traditional approaches to calculate total factor productivity (TFP) change through Malmquist indexes rely on distance functions. In this paper we show that the use of distance functions as a means to calculate TFP change may introduce some bias in the analysis, and therefore we propose a procedure that calculates TFP change through observed values only. Our total TFP change is then decomposed i...
