Addressing spatial dependence in technical efficiency estimation: A Spatial DEA frontier approach
处理技术效率估计中的空间依赖:空间 DEA 前沿方法
This paper introduces a new specification for the nonparametric production-frontier based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) when dealing with decision-making units whose economic performances are correlated with those of the neighbors (spatial dependence). To illustrate the bias reduction that the SpDEA provides with respect to standard DEA methods, an analysis of the regional production frontiers for the NUTS-2 European regions during the period 2000-2014 was carried out.…
