Profit Efficiency of Bangladeshi Banks: A Stochastic Frontier Approach

Regulations, supervision and banks’ cost and profit efficiency around the world: a stochastic frontier approach

This paper uses stochastic frontier analysis and Tobit regressions to provide international evidence on the impact of regulatory, supervision and environmental factors on bank efficiency. Our contribution is twofold. First, we use a newly constructed database of 3,086 observations from 677 publicly quoted commercial banks operating in 88 countries to provide cross-country evidence on the determ...

The Efficiency Frontier of For-Profit Hospitals

This study evaluates the efficiency of small and large for-profit hospitals using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). For this study, small for-profit hospitals are 35 beds or less which is consistent with the Federal designation of critical access hospitals (CAH). Large for-profit hospitals are 36 beds and greater. Results indicate overall efficiency in small for-profit hospitals was 60% in 2013....

Stochastic Frontier Approach and Data Envelopment Analysis to Total Factor Productivity and Efficiency Measurement of Bangladeshi Rice

The objective of this paper is to apply the Translog Stochastic Frontier production model (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiencies over time and the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth rate for Bangladeshi rice crops (Aus, Aman and Boro) throughout the most recent data available comprising the period 1989-2008. Results indicate that technical efficiency was observed...

Ref: M734 PROFIT EFFICIENCY AMONG BANGLADESHI RICE FARMERS

the comparative assessment of technical efficiency in the iran cement industry (stochastic frontier analysis approach)

the different model specifications have been proposed to estimate time-varying technical efficiency in the last two decades. these models have resulted different efficiency scores based on their built-in specifications. this study investigates the temporal pattern of technical efficiency based on cornwell, sickles, and schmidt (css, 1990) as well as lee and schmidt (ls, 1993) models. in order t...
