This book covers recent advances in efficiency evaluations, most
notably Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier
Analysis (SFA) methods. It introduces the underlying theories,
shows how to make the relevant calculations and discusses
applications. The aim is to make the reader aware of the pros and
cons of the different methods and to show how to use these methods
in both standard and non-standard cases. Several software packages
have been developed to solve some of the most common DEA and SFA
models. This book relies on R, a free, open source software
environment for statistical computing and graphics. This enables
the reader to solve not only standard problems, but also many other
problem variants. Using R, one can focus on understanding the
context and developing a good model. One is not restricted to
predefined model variants and to a one-size-fits-all approach. To
facilitate the use of R, the authors have developed an R package
called Benchmarking, which implements the main methods within both
DEA and SFA. The book uses mathematical formulations of models and
assumptions, but it de-emphasizes the formal proofs - in part by
placing them in appendices -- or by referring to the original
sources. Moreover, the book emphasizes the usage of the theories
and the interpretations of the mathematical formulations. It
includes a series of small examples, graphical illustrations,
simple extensions and questions to think about. Also, it combines
the formal models with less formal economic and organizational
thinking. Last but not least it discusses some larger applications
with significant practical impacts, including the design of
benchmarking-based regulations of energy companies in different
European countries, and the development of merger control programs
for competition authorities.
