Efficiency of the knowledge triangle policy in the EU member states: DEA approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to compare relative efficiency of the knowledge triangle policy in 25 EU member states providing evidence on the knowledge triangle technical efficiency calculated relying on output-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model assuming variable returns to scale (VRS). Moreover, the knowledge triangle efficiency indices are calculated, utilising the concept of actual and target inputs. Results obtained under output-oriented VRS model may signify overall effectiveness of the EU knowledge triangle policy. A more detailed analysis of output-oriented knowledge triangle efficiency indices reveals more differentiation among some countries. There are also significant variations among efficient decision-making units (DMUs) revealed through reference share analysis. Outcomes of this research may suggest the need of modification and/or strengthening of the knowledge triangle policy in some EU member states. The results obtained should however be treated with caution because they are influenced by the choice of variables.

Background This article assesses the global health policies of the European Union (EU) and those of its individual member states. So far EU and public health scholars have paid little heed to this, despite the large budgets involved in this area. While the European Commission has attempted to define the ‘EU role in Global Health’ in 2010, member states are active in the domain of global health ...
متن کاملA Dea-based Malmquist Productivity Index Approach in Assessing Road Safety Performance
The data envelopment analysis (DEA) based Malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. It can be further decomposed into two components: the change in efficiency and the technical change. In this study, a specific road safety outputoriented DEA-based Malmquist productivity index is introduced to assess the changes in road safety performance of 26 EU countries from 20...

Abstract: Creation of new criminal law in the European ::::::::union:::::::: has led to an approximation of the criminal law of member states to each other. Compliance with this obligation for EU member states is due to the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon. Main approach of the Treaty of Lisbon is to resort to the option of harmonizing the criminal laws of the member states, which is a new ch...

Policy instruments for GHG abatement may follow different strategies. Two prominent distinct strategies that are also part of the EU climate protection approach are market oriented cap and trade regimes and support schemes for carbon free generation technologies. The two strategies differ in their impact on the energy system and thus in effectiveness of abatement, in economic impact, and in con...
