Measuring the Efficiency of European Airlines: An Application of DEA and Tobit Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The liberalisation movement in European airlines industry was initiated in the late 1980s to create a more competitive environment. This has aimed to result in an increase in efficiency and productivity of the industry. The radical changes which have occurred since then have given risen to the need to evaluate the efficiency in the early phases of the liberalisation process. This study utilises Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the effic iency of airlines. The Tobit model applied to the second stage is conducted in an effort to identify the effects of various explanatory variables on efficiency. Applying DEA with Tobit models to detect the efficiency and the determinants of (in)efficiency serves a variety of policy purposes and aimed at improving performance. Our analysis is based on a panel data set of 17 airlines European airlines over the period of 1991-1995.

This paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the technical, pure technical, and scale efficiencies of 12 branches of the agricultural bank in Guilan province, Iran over the period of 2012-2016. The first results indicated that scale inefficiency contributed more to overall technical inefficiency than pure technical inefficiency over the studied period. Results of return to scale r...
متن کاملBanking Efficiency in China: Application of DEA and Tobit Analysis
In this paper, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and super efficient DEA (SE-DEA) are employed to measure the efficiency of Chinese commercial banks. Incorporating Tobit regression analysis, the determinants of banking efficiency are investigated based on Panel data. Overall, the DEA results show relatively low average efficiency levels and state-owned banks are more inefficient than that of join...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of Turkish (TR) commercial banking sector. We evaluate the technical efficiency of individual TR banks using the nonparametric frontier methodology, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). To investigate the determinants of efficiency, we use the Tobit model. This analysis aims to explain the variation in calculated efficiencies to a set ...
