This paper is an attempt to decompose the non-radial technical efficiency in terms of a scalar called SBM of efficiency (input Oriented) of the performances of 23 states of India in the 10th class examination. Applying CCR, BCC and SBM models for five inputs and two outputs obtained from the Statistics of school education, 2010-11 (MHRD, Govt. of India), the efficiency scores were computed and the SBM efficiency scores were decomposed into technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, scale efficiency and mix efficiency. The mean TE scores are 0.86 with a SD of 0.17 and mean PTE score of 0.92 with SD of 0.09. Out of 23 states 10 states achieved MPSS status and 13 states were in efficient. As per the SBM score, out of 23 states 10 states  fully SBM efficient with score equals to 1 and hence they are TE, PTE and Scale efficient implying most productive scale size. But more than half of the states (13) are inefficient with Assam being the lowest performer (0.18) followed by Kerala (0.22), Rajasthan (0.25) and Chhattisgarh (0.31). The states with low SBM score due to PTE and MIX are Assam, Karnataka, Maharastra, Odisha, Rajasthan and UP. The states having low score due to low PTE and low SE are Assam and Karnataka. The states with low SBM score due to low PTE, MIX and SE are Assam and Karnataka. The study emphasizes, merger of small private schools, increase in the appointment of both trained male and female teachers, Creation of more class rooms. One important implication of the result is that the state should focus more on the giving special coaching to the SC/ST students and the girl students especially in English, math and science.

The paper provides a new approach to modeling bank efficiency. Unlike previous bank efficiency studies, the present paper employs the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method on quarterly data to construct the efficiency frontiers. The Malaysian banking sector is used for a case study. The results show that the Malaysian banking sector has exhibited the mean technical efficiency of 97.3%, suggesting the minimal input waste of 2.7%. The empirical findings suggest that the pure technical efficiency outweighs the scale efficiency in determining the Malaysian banking sector’s technical efficiency. The results imply that, although the Malaysian banking sector has been efficient in managerial terms, it has been operating at a non-optimal scale of operations.p>

Technical Efficiency Score

The recent drop in oil prices has challenged public sector financing in Kuwait. Technical and scale efficiency scores for fifteen public hospitals in Kuwait from 2010 to 2014 were estimated using a two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA). Technical efficiency scores were regressed against institutional characteristics using Tobit regression to investigate the determinants of efficiency differences in hospitals. Semi-structured interviews were also carried out with fourteen public and private hospital managers to qualitatively explore their perceptions and experience about about factors affecting hospital efficiency. The mean technical efficiency score for all hospitals was 85.8%, an improvement of 2% since 2010. The mean pure technical efficiency score was 79.6%, improving from 75% in 2010 to 81.2% in 2014. The mean scale efficiency score was 91.8%, improving from 87.6% in 2010 to 94.2% in 2014. Only three hospitals were constantly technically and scale efficient. Tobit regression showed that hospital efficiency was significantly associated with the average length of patient stay. Hospitals with more than 400 beds were potentially more technically and scale efficient. The qualitative study revealed that external factors affecting efficiency commonly included implemention of legislative changes and decreasing bureaucracy, while internal factors included increasing bed capacity and improving qualifications and training of human resources. Most public hospitals in Kuwait were not technically and scale efficient, but improvements were observed. Potential factors that affected the efficiency of hospitals in Kuwait were identified. These findings are useful to decision-makers in Kuwait for developing strategies to improve public hospital efficiency.

Using Data

RISDA has targeted for the income of each smallholder to be at least RM2500 per month by the end of 2015. However, approximately almost 90% of the smallholders’ monthly income is still below the target. Hence, in order to observe if this target is achievable, a study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency level of producing rubber among 95 rubber smallholders in Pahang. In addition, the study also investigated if there was any opportunity for increment of production among the rubber smallholders. Therefore, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, under the assumption of Variable Return to Scale (VRS) and Constant Return to Scale (CRS), was used to analyse the scale and the technical efficiency of the smallholders. Scale Efficiency was measured in order to estimate the return to scale of the smallholders. As a result, the study found that the average Overall Technical Efficiency (OTE) and Pure Technical Efficiency (PTE) scores of the smallholders were 43.47% and 43.78%, respectively. Thus, the majority of the smallholders were not technically efficient in producing rubber. Furthermore, based on the return to scale estimated, 41% of the smallholders were operating under the Increase Return to Scale (IRS), which implied that the smallholders had a sub-optimal scale size. The results obtained had been useful as the optimal input-output for the efficient rubber yield can be determined and may help RISDA, as well as agricultural planners, to devise a strategy in order to increase the productivity of rubber smallholders in Malaysia.

The goal of this study is to determine the degree of leadership skills practiced by principals at UNRWA schools. In order to achieve this goal a questionnaire consisting of 56 items was developed, which included two domains: Administrative and Technical skills, and personal and social skills. This questionnaire had been verified in terms of its validity and reliability. The study sample consisted of 400 male and female teachers, distributed according to gender into 185 male and 215 females from UNRWA schools. The main results of the study revealed that the mean score on the administrative and technical skills was 126.63 with a percentage of 77% and on the personal and social skills 77.3 with a percentage of 67%. However, the mean score of the total score was 203.93 with a percentage of 73% which means that the degree of principals’ practice of leadership skills was in average. Also, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the sample on the administrative and technical skills due to gender variable in favor of females. The study ended with some recommendations relating to enhance the principal’s skills in general and for male principals specifically.

Along with firm-specific technical inefficiency, sector-specific structural inefficiency might induce losses in productivity. This paper therefore aims to identify the trends in structural efficiency in Lithuanian family farms. Specifically, the four farming types are considered, namely cereal farming, field cropping, dairying, and mixed farming. Farm-level data from Farm Accountancy Data Network are used for the analysis. The research period spans over the years 2004–2011. The trends in technical and scale efficiency are presented. Furthermore, the prevailing returns to scale are discussed thus offering insights into the most productive scale size and deviations from it in Lithuanian family farms. Finally, the dynamics in structural efficiency are discussed. The results indicate that the aggregate output of certain farming types could be augmented by some 20–25% due to reallocation of inputs among farms. Anyway, technical inefficiency remains the major driver of structural inefficiency.

Pakistan has adequate infrastructure for health services delivery at primary level. The study aims to calculate the technical efficiency of Basic Health Units (BHUs) in Sargodha by using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with the choice of inputs and outputs being specific to BHUs operation. DEA model results reveals that the mean technical efficiency under, Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) was 0.719 and 0.807 while the mean scale efficiency was 0.88. Study exposed that 77 % BHUs were technically inefficient under CRS while 66 % BHUs were technically inefficient under VRS modal. Overall 76% BHUs were inefficient and destructing the infrastructure. Moreover, findings evidently point to adverse inefficiency of BHUs in health services delivery. Study concluded that existing high level of inefficiency in BHUs needs institutional fascination for scaling up BHUs to meet both regional as well international targets such as Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and recommended such measures that may curb the waste.

In the era of “Internet+,” the increase of agricultural products sales can be achieved by creating and joining e-commerce platforms. Most of the farmers in China are self-employed and cannot form an industrial scale. With the rise of “Internet+” background research, the combination of this technology and the marketing of agricultural products has become a new marketing model under the deep integration of different fields. Based on the marketing of products under the background of “Internet+” and using marketing theories, this paper reviews the development of marketing of agricultural products under the background of “Internet+,” including the Internet infrastructure, the establishment of logistics system, the formation of branding, and the deep processing of agricultural products. The paper reviews the development of agricultural marketing under the background of “Internet+,” including the Internet infrastructure, establishment of logistics system, branding, and deep processing of agricultural products. The marketing mode of agricultural products under the background of “Internet+” is proved, and the development of agricultural products marketing under the background of “Internet+” is discussed from various angles, and insights into how to improve it are proposed from five aspects. After excluding the influence of environmental factors through the improved three-stage SE-DEA model, the mean value of TE of comprehensive efficiency of agricultural information allocation increases from 0.773 to 0.832, the mean value of SE of scale efficiency increases from 0.844 to 0.9219, and the mean value of PTE of pure technical efficiency adjusts from 0.9087 to 0.9058. The mean value of pure technical efficiency (PTE) was adjusted from 0.9087 to 0.9058. Compared with the parametric method, DEA does not require a specific production function to be set in advance, and it is also difficult to select a suitable production function in advance for complex problems.
