考虑非期望产出的我国对外开放机场生产效率评估

针对已有对机场生产效率评估中忽视非期望产出这一问题,研究构建了非期望产出模型SBM-Undesirable,选择我国对外开放机场为研究对象,对其机场生产效率进行评估,并在此基础上对对外开放机场投入产出要素进行定量调整.研究结果表明:在机场生产运营过程中存在非期望产出的情况下,采用SBM-Undesirable模型对其进行效率评价,能够避免传统DEA模型的缺陷,提高效率评价的准确性.通过模型分析发现我国62个对外开放机场中有18个机场生产效率有效,而采用传统CCR模型进行机场生产效率评估时,只有12个机场生产效率有效,说明非期望产出对外开放机场生产效率有显著的影响;我国对外开放机场的生产效率有显著的区域特征,我国区域对外开放机场生产效率得分排序为华中、西南、西北、华南、华东、华北、东北;通过对我国生产效率无效的对外开放机场分析,发现各个对外开放机场普遍存在投入冗余、效益产出不足和非期望产出过多的情况,优化投入产出配置能力、减少机场投诉数量等非期望产出和增加机场有效产出是改善机场生产效率的现实途径.

中国城市土地利用效率的动态测度及影响因素——基于DEA-Tobit两步法的分析

利用数据包络模型(DEA)对中国大陆30个省、市、自治区2001—2010年城市土地利用效率进行了测度与评价,并运用Tobit回归模型对其影响因素进行了深入分析.结果表明:①中国城市土地利用效率总体呈现上升趋势,除少数省区效率值低于0.5以外,其余均保持在0.5-1之间;②城市土地利用效率前沿面分析结果显示,2001—2010年处于生产前沿面的省、市、自治区的数量保持稳定,但其空间分布却发生了一些变化,10年间东部地区减少2个,西部地区增加2个,中部地区一直处于零水平的状态;③城市土地利用过程中高投入低产出局面的扭转、非农从业人员效率的提高是城市土地利用效率改善的基本内核和关键所在;④经济规模对城市士地利用效率呈现正向促进作用,低层次的产业结构和不断增加的人口密度呈现负面影响,政府规制、空间集聚水平、城市规模和区位条件的影响并不显著.     

基于DEA模型的中国区域能源与环境效率评估

数据包络分析已经被广泛应用于研究中国各省市的能源与环境效率.在以前研究文献中,模拟弱可处置性建模时,隐含的假设所有决策单元采用统一均匀的减少系数.但是在实际生产过程中,面对边际减排成本最低的决策单元,减少非期望产出,也通常会带来成本效益,而且决策者也往往更倾向于减少那些带来成本效益更低的决策单元.因此,为解决这一实际问题,引进不同决策单元的非期望产出采用非均匀比例减少的基础上,考虑非能源投入和能源投入的划分,来构建评估中国各个省市能源和环境效率的生产可能集,然后利用改善的DEA模型计算2016年中国其中30个省市的能源与环境效率.结果表明,我国不同区域,相同区域不同省市之间的能源与环境效率都存在着较大差异.

Centralised reallocation of emission permits using DEA

In this paper a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to the problem of emission permits reallocation is presented. It can be used with conventional command and control as well as with an allowance market. It uses a centralized point of view, which represents the common good. In the model it is assumed that firms produce two types of outputs: desirable outputs (i.e. good outputs with positive value for consumers) and undesirable outputs (i.e. bad outputs with negative value for consumers, such as emissions of pollutants). The proposed approach has three phases, which correspond to three objectives that are pursued lexicographically. The three objectives are maximizing aggregated desirable production, minimizing undesirable total emissions and minimizing the consumption of input resources. The relative priority of these objectives is defined by the regulator. The whole approach is units-invariant and does not require information on input and output prices. The approach is applied on a dataset from the Swedish pulp and paper industry.     

Estimating output gains by means of Luenberger efficiency measures

In this paper we propose a new measure of input allocative efficiency that we estimate using directional distance functions. Our new measure compares the gain in output if a firm reduces technical inefficiency for the direct production possibility set and the gain in output if the firm reduces technical inefficiency for the indirect production possibility set. Because the directional distance function uses a translated origin, the gain in output from an optimal reallocation of inputs can be estimated for non-radial expansions in output. We estimate efficiency for Japanese banks during 1992–1999. The gains in outputs from reducing allocative inefficiency by reallocating inputs are greater than the gains in outputs that can be attained by reducing technical inefficiency.     

Stochastic resonance with different periodic forces in overdamped two coupled anharmonic oscillators

We study the stochastic resonance phenomenon in the overdamped two coupled anharmonic oscillators with Gaussian noise and driven by different external periodic forces. We consider (i) sine, (ii) square, (iii) symmetric saw-tooth, (iv) asymmetric saw-tooth, (v) modulus of sine and (vi) rectified sinusoidal forces. The external periodic forces and Gaussian noise term are added to one of the two state variables of the system. The effect of each force is studied separately. In the absence of noise term, when the amplitude f of the applied periodic force is varied cross-well motion is realized above a critical value (f_c) of f. This is found for all the forces except the modulus of sine and rectified sinusoidal forces. For fixed values of angular frequency ω of the periodic forces, f_c is minimum for square wave and maximum for asymmetric saw-tooth wave. f_c is found to scale as Ae^0.75ω + B where A and B are constants. Stochastic resonance is observed in the presence of noise and periodic forces. The effect of different forces is compared. The stochastic resonance behaviour is quantized using power spectrum, signal-to-noise ratio, mean residence time and distribution of normalized residence times. The logarithmic plot of mean residence time τ_MR against 1/(D − D_c) where D is the intensity of the noise and D_c is the value of D at which cross-well motion is initiated shows a sharp knee-like structure for all the forces. Signal-to-noise ratio is found to be maximum at the noise intensity D = D_max at which mean residence time is half of the period of the driving force for the forces such as sine, square, symmetric saw-tooth and asymmetric saw-tooth waves. With modulus of sine wave and rectified sine wave, the SNR peaks at a value of D for which sum of τ_MR in two wells of the potential of the system is half of the period of the driving force. For the chosen values of f and ω, signal-to-noise ratio is found to be maximum for square wave while it is minimum for modulus of sine and rectified sinusoidal waves. The values of D_c at which cross-well behaviour is initiated and D_max are found to depend on the shape of the periodic forces.     

Resources use and greenhouse gas emissions in urban economy: Ecological input–output modeling for Beijing 2002

The embodiment of natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions for the urban economy of Beijing economy 2002 by a physical balance modeling is carried out based on an extension of the economic input–output table into an ecological one integrating the economy with its various environmental driving forces. Included resources and greenhouse gas emissions belong to six categories as energy resources in terms of primary energy and secondary energy; water resource; emissions of CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O; exergy in terms of energy sources, biological resources and minerals; and solar emergy and cosmic emergy in terms of climate resources, soil, energy sources, and minerals.     

Incorporating performance measures with target levels in data envelopment analysis

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique for evaluating relative efficiencies of peer decision making units (DMUs) which have multiple performance measures. These performance measures have to be classified as either inputs or outputs in DEA. DEA assumes that higher output levels and/or lower input levels indicate better performance. This study is motivated by the fact that there are performance measures (or factors) that cannot be classified as an input or output, because they have target levels with which all DMUs strive to achieve in order to attain the best practice, and any deviations from the target levels are not desirable and may indicate inefficiency. We show how such performance measures with target levels can be incorporated in DEA. We formulate a new production possibility set by extending the standard DEA production possibility set under variable returns-to-scale assumption based on a set of axiomatic properties postulated to suit the case of targeted factors. We develop three efficiency measures by extending the standard radial, slacks-based, and Nerlove–Luenberger measures. We illustrate the proposed model and efficiency measures by applying them to the efficiency evaluation of 36 US universities.     

Improving weak efficiency frontiers in the fuzzy data envelopment analysis models

Evaluating the performance of activities or organization by common data envelopment analysis models requires crisp input/output data. However, the precise inputs and outputs of production processes cannot be always measured. Thus, the data envelopment analysis measurement containing fuzzy data, called “fuzzy data envelopment analysis”, has played an important role in the evaluation of efficiencies of real applications. This paper focuses on the fuzzy CCR model and proposes a new method for determining the lower bounds of fuzzy inputs and outputs. This improves the weak efficiency frontiers of the corresponding production possibility set. Also a numerical example illustrates the capability of the proposed method.     

Technical efficiency estimation with multiple inputs and multiple outputs using regression analysis

Regression and linear programming provide the basis for popular techniques for estimating technical efficiency. Regression-based approaches are typically parametric and can be both deterministic or stochastic where the later allows for measurement error. In contrast, linear programming models are nonparametric and allow multiple inputs and outputs. The purported disadvantage of the regression-based models is the inability to allow multiple outputs without additional data on input prices. In this paper, deterministic cross-sectional and stochastic panel data regression models that allow multiple inputs and outputs are developed. Notably, technical efficiency can be estimated using regression models characterized by multiple input, multiple output environments without input price data. We provide multiple examples including a Monte Carlo analysis.
