Abstract:

This paper talks about the measurement of efficiency and productivity of non-life insurance firms in India. This study is focused on twelve private non-life insurance firms and four public sector non-life insurance firms of India in the period 2008-09 to 2012-13. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) coupled with Malmquist productivity Index is used in measuring the efficiency as well as productivity of the Indian non-life insurers. The study attempts to use commission plus management expenses and capital as input parameters and net premium and investment income as output parameters. The technical efficiency of these firms is measured and analysed through CRS and VRS methods.

Data Envelopment Analysis with Sensitive Analysis and Super-efficiency in Indian Banking Sector

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is non-parametric linear programming (LP) based technique for estimating the relative efficiency of different decision making units (DMUs) assessing the homogeneous type of multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs. The procedure does not require a priori knowledge of weights, while the main concern of this non-parametric technique is to estimate the optimal weights o...
