Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover, xxii + 248 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed in the USA. Limited signs of gentle wear, book is clean and bright, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Providing a systematic and comprehensive treatment of recent developments in efficiency analysis, this readable book makes available an intuitive yet rigorous presentation of advanced nonparametric and robust methods. This flexible toolbox can be used in theories based on the neoclassical theory of production and its alternatives, including evolutionary theories. The methods are complemented by empirical analysis of three different economic fields: scientific research, mutual funds industry and the insurance sector. The research demonstrates the utility of the toolbox for a wide range of economic issues, including the analysis of economies of scale and scope, dynamics of age and agglomeration effects, trade-offs in production and service activities, and explanations of efficiency differentials. Of interest to applied economists broadly, this book will also be of interest to those focused on Operations Research and/or Management Science. -- Contents: 1. Introduction [What This Work is About; Improving the Nonparametric Approach in Frontier Analysis; Outline of the Work]; Part I: Methodology: 2. The Measurement of Efficiency [Productivity and Efficiency; A Short History of Thought; Economic Model; A Taxonomy of Efficient Frontier Models; Nonparametric Frontier Approach: - DEA - FDH; 6 Recent Developments in Nonparametric Efficiency Analysis]; 3. Statistical Inference in Nonparametric Frontier Estimation [Statistical Foundation; Introducing Stochastic Noise in the Model; Asymptotic Results; Bootstrap Techniques and Applications]; 4. Nonparametric Robust Estimators: Partial Frontiers [Re-formulation Based on the Probability of Being Dominated; Order-m Frontiers and Efficiency Scores; Order-[alpha] Quantile-type Frontiers; Properties of Partial Frontier Estimators; Summary of the Results for the Output Oriented Case; Parametric Approximations of Robust Nonparametric Frontiers; Multivariate Parametric Approximations]; 5. Conditional Measures of Efficiency [Explaining Efficiency in the Literature; Introducing External-environmental Variables; Bandwidth Selection; Econometric Methodology; Simulated Illustrations]; Part II: Applications: 6. Economies of Scale, Scope and Experience in the Italian Motor-vehicle Sector [Introduction; Data Description; Testing Returns to Scale and Bootstrapping Efficiency Scores; Economies of Scale; Economies of Scope; Economies of Experience; Conclusions]; 7. Age, Scale and Concentration Effects in a Public Research System [Introduction; Data Description; Scale and Concentration Effects; Age Effects on CNR Scientific Productivity; Robust Parametric Approximation of Multioutput Distance Function; Conclusions]; 8. Exploring the Effects of Manager Tenure, Fund Age and Their Interaction [Introduction; Data Description; Impact of Mutual Fund Manager Tenure on Performance; Interaction Between Manager Tenure and Fund Age; Conclusions]; 9.
