Inefficiency in Japanese Water Utility Firms: a Stochastic Frontier Approach
I examine inefficiencies in Japanese water utility companies. Efficiency in this context is defined as a firm’s capacity to maximize output given a fixed level of inputs. The findings suggest that the average operation rate, customer density and size variables are associated with lower levels of inefficiency (or higher levels of efficiency), while water purification (a conditioning variable cap...
متن کاملSize, Fragmentation, and Inefficiency: A Single-Stage Stochastic Parametric Approach for Wheat Production in Iran
Although studies on the relation between size and efficiency are ample, studies on the relation between size, fragmentation, and efficiency are limited. It is the purpose of this study in which a single-stage stochastic parametric approach is used. For this purpose production of wheat in Iran is a good case because wheat is the core commodity of the Iranian agricultural system which is dominate...
متن کاملDynamic Inefficiency: Anarchy without Stability
The price of anarchy [16] is by now a standard measure for quantifying the inefficiency introduced in games due to selfish behavior, and is defined as the ratio between the optimal outcome and the worst Nash equilibrium. However, this notion is well defined only for games that always possess a Nash equilibrium (NE). We propose the dynamic inefficiency measure, which is roughly defined as the av...
متن کاملManagerial Inefficiency and Technological Decline in Britain, 1860-1914
British economic decline in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has been attributed to the growing inability of British industries to compete technologically and organizationally with their American and German competitors. This paper argues that British firms' growth and adaptability were hampered by organizational weakness and that the major cause of Britain's managerial problems...
متن کاملThe Zilcha Criteria for Dynamic Inefficiency Reconsidered
We reconsider necessary and suffcient conditions for dynamic inefficiency given in Zilcha (1990, 1991) and a critique by Rangazas and Russell (2005). First, we show that the characterization given in Zilcha (1990) for nonstationary economies is correct and complete Zilcha's proof. Second, using this insight, we complement Rangazas and Russell (2005)'s discussion of the counterexamples to Zilcha...
