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...

The growth of China's industry has been seriously depending on energy and environment. This paper attempts to apply the directional distance function and the Luenberger productivity index to measure the environmental efficiency, environmental total factor productivity, and its components at the level of subindustry in China over the period from 1999 to 2009 while considering energy consumption ...

The primary objective of this paper is to test informational efficiency of the A random walk test is performed for weak-form efficiency. In addition, day of the week effects are investigated to test semi-strong form efficiency. Empirical results verify that the İSE Composite Index is neither weak-form nor semi-strong form efficient although the nature and degree of inefficiency differ across pe...
