1. 21. Analyzing firm performance in a glass industry: a non-parametric frontier approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Serajes Salekeen; Mona Mahram; [2011]
   Keywords : industrial glass factory.; scale efficiency; technical efficiency; non-parametric frontier; economic efficiency; data envelopment analysis; allocative efficiency; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : A non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is applied in this study in order for calculating the technical and scale efficiency of a glass factory by means of a production frontier, despite the common trend among contemporary literatures to use stochastic parametric methods and ‘estimate’ the frontier production function. The available aggregated structure of the firm data paved the way for the authors to rethink and adopt a mathematical (linear programming) approach which would make it possible to conduct the study with a limited number of observations and without the detailed form of the production function.
