Advanced Robust and Nonparametric Methods in Efficiency Analysis - Methodology and Applications (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

This book aims to provide a systematic and comprehensive treatment of recent developments in efficiency analysis in order to overcome these drawbacks. In Part I of the book (Methodology), we introduce a complete set of tools for measuring the efficiency of firms and for explaining the observed efficiency differentials. In Part II of the book (Applications), we propose three empirical illustrations taken from different economic fields: scientific research, mutual funds industry and the insurance sector. This book has been specifically designed for applied economists who have an interest in the advantages of traditional nonparametric methods (DEA/FDH) for efficiency analysis, but are sceptical about adopting them because of the drawbacks they present. They will find a complete and up to date presentation of the advances made in nonparametric frontier analysis able to overcome most of the drawbacks of traditional methods.
