Regional Energy Efficiency of China’s Commercial Sector: An Emerging Energy Consumer

This article applies a parametric metafrontier method and the Malmquist index to analyze the energy efficiency and its dynamic performance in China’s commercial sector from 1995 to 2013. The results indicate that the energy efficiency in China’s commercial sector is generally low, and there are significant regional differences and enormous energy-saving potentials. Relative to metafrontier, commercial sectors in eastern China have relatively higher energy efficiency; while those in central and western China have relatively low energy efficiency. Besides, the dynamic energy efficiency performance in China’s commercial sector has improved over the period. The technology improvement is a major driving factor to improve the energy efficiency in the commercial sectors of all the three regions.     

Productivity efficiency analysis of the airlines in China after deregulation

Using data envelopment analysis and the Malmquist productivity index, this paper studies productivity efficiency of various airlines in China after the Chinese government deregulated the aviation industry in 2005. The results show that the productivity efficiency of non-state-owned airlines improves rapidly and eventually exceeds state-owned airlines after the deregulation policy. Among the state-owned airlines, the productivity of the local airlines and their technical changes are better than those of the central airlines.     

Comparing efficiency of holding business model and individual management model of airports

This research compares the efficiency of holding business model to individual management model of airports, employing some robust non-parametric partial frontier-based methods to compare the statistical distributions of efficiency, under different scenarios, to find out which group of airports yields better global performance. The comparison between groups will follow a Malmquist index decomposition, which seems to be the most appropriate tool for within- and inter-group performance comparison. For this purpose, a sample of 145 airports from three continents is utilized. The results provide evidence that European airports are the most productive ones, and within this cluster, the individual management model presented a significant frontier shift with respect the holding cluster frontier, meaning that the former is much more productive than the latter.     

Efficiency and productivity changes in Greek airports during the crisis years 2010–2014

The aim of this study is to evaluate the operating efficiency and productivity changes of the Greek airports, during the first years of the severe economic crisis in Greece (2010–2014), by using two methods: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity index (MPI). Findings have shown that, despite the dramatic effects of the economic crisis on the socio-economic life of the country, overall airport efficiency and productivity improved, mainly due to exogenous factors such as international tourism growth. The MPI reveals that over the period of the study, airports have experienced an annual average increase in total factor productivity (TFP) of 0.9% (an increase of 3.6% over the examined period). On examining the components of this productivity change, it becomes evident that this is due to the combination of both positive (a slight progress) annual average technology change (0.5%) and technical efficiency change (0.4%). The results also indicate that 65.8% of airports have an increase in average TFP during the period 2010–2014, ranging between 0.4% and 20%. However, as Greek airports operate at poor levels of efficiency, there is still considerable space for improvements in most of the airports.     

Airport efficiency in the dawn of privatization: The case of Greece

Until recently, all airports in Greece were owned and managed by the state; however, the recent economic crisis led the Greek government to privatize 14 regional airports. This paper evaluates the performance of the 38 Greek airports open to civil aviation just before the privatization was concluded. It also aims to highlight that the majority of airports with high efficiency were selected to be privatized. The analysis was performed applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) using 2011 and 2015 operational and financial data. Results showed that, despite the economic crisis, overall efficiency improved between 2011 and 2015, mainly due to the spectacular increase in incoming international passenger traffic. Changes in efficiency can be attributed by and large to exogenous factors such as operations of low-cost carriers and charter operators along with the seasonal operations of established carriers at individual airports. Findings confirm that the majority of high efficiency airports were offered to private investors.     

丝绸之路经济带物流业效率及其影响因素

物流业发展对丝绸之路经济带建设具有十分重要的意义,而效率是物流业发展的主要方面。近年来,我国物流业发展很快,但由于起步晚,与发达国家和地区相比仍然存在较大差距,尚未走出高成本、低效率的状态,提高物流业效率已经成为当务之急。以2004-2012年面板数据为基础,实证分析我国丝绸之路经济带物流业效率及其影响因素发现,丝绸之路经济带物流业全要素生产率受技术进步的影响呈波动趋势,年均下降2.1%,主要源于技术进步与规模效率的下降;各地区物流业全要素生产率均值为0.979,地区技术进步效率不高,其中宁夏物流业效率最高,云南物流业效率降幅最大;物流业专业化程度与物流业资源利用率对丝绸之路经济带物流业效率具有显著的正向影响;城镇化水平与开放程度有助于提升丝绸之路经济带物流业效率,但统计上并不显著。这在一定程度上表明,当前经济实力、产业结构、人力资本水平三个因素对提升丝绸之路经济带物流业效率尚不存在积极影响。为更好地提升丝绸之路经济带物流业效率,应进一步促进物流业技术进步及其推广应用;进一步加强一体化规划,提高物流业规模效率与资源利用率;进一步培育物流业集群与龙头企业,提高物流业专业化程度;进一步改善物流业发展的"软环境",提升物流业效率。     

外商直接投资、国际贸易与中国生产率增长研究——基于非参数Malmquist指数的经验分析

本文以1986-2003年的省级面板数据为样本,采用基于非参数的Malmquist生产率指数来度量中国全要素生产率的变化,分析了外商直接投资和国际贸易对中国生产率增长的影响。研究表明,外商直接投资和国际贸易显著地促进了中国生产率的增长,其对生产率增长的促进作用主要通过与人力资本相结合来实现;同时,其对中国生产率的促进作用主要体现在促进了技术的进步,而对技术效率的改善作用不明显。另外,本文还发现在1986-2003年间中国省级生产率增长和技术进步存在显著的收敛趋势。     

Assessing the Impact of Changing Economic Environment on Productivity Growth: The Case of the Spanish Dairy Processing Industry

This article analyzes the productivity growth of the Spanish dairy processing industry from 1996 till 2011, which concerns the period of increased EU regulation regarding food safety as well as economic crisis. Data envelopment analysis is used to compute the Malmquist index and its components. The results suggest that productivity on average declined during the period under investigation. The decomposition of the Malmquist index finds that technical regress contributed to productivity decline despite improvements in technical and scale efficiencies. Our results also suggest that food safety regulations did not have a negative impact on productivity growth. Technical change and scale efficiency change made significant negative contributions to productivity growth in the period under crisis, whereas firms significantly improved their technical efficiency in that period.     

中国农村财政救济服务供给效率测度——基于四阶段DEA和Malmquist指数模型的实证研究

本文在经典DEA模型基础上,结合四阶段DEA模型和Mulmquist指数的非参数分析方法,利用2007和2008年省际数据测度了中国农村救济服务供给效率,结果表明：在我国新农村建设中,农村救济公共资源配置效率非完全有效,省份和地区之间都存在较大的供给效率差异。因此,农村救济服务的供给方式需要统筹管理,均衡实现多目标下的资源配置问题;同时必须缩减低效配置的资源,增加高效支出,优化支出结构,提高农村救济服务资源支出的使用效率。
