Financial Analyses

The paper deals with analysis of the forest business sector in Slovakia and the evaluation of profitability and efficiency of forest contractors, with special focus on mountain and lowland regions. Evaluation of profitability was done by using selected indicators of financial analyses for a period of five years. Data envelopment analyses (DEA) was used as non-parametric approach for the assessment of efficiency. The sample size was 153 forest contractors. Data for 2012–2016 were processed. Results of the evaluation show that the profitability of Slovak forest contractors in the mountain regions is higher than the profitability of forest contractors in lowland regions. The results of the efficiency analysis were different due to the nature of the method; where relative efficiency was evaluated, the efficiency of single contractors was compared with the most efficient contractors from the lowland regions. Most of the evaluated units were, according to results of the efficiency analysis scale, ineffective, which implies that it may be beneficial for most contractors to reduce their turnover and thereby increase their relative efficiency. The results of the financial analysis also suggests that contractors have obsolete technical and technological equipment.

The current research aimed to analyze the relative efficiency level of enbal (sago starch) agro-industries. The relative efficiency analysis on 32 DMUs of enbal agro-industries showed that 40,63% of the industries were efficient and 59.38% were inefficient. Every efficient DMU became the reference for the inefficient DMUs based on the suggested quality. Each DMU of the enbal agro-industries has not reached a good efficiency level, which was indicated by the average relative efficiency scale of 0.886. This was a relatively low value, and improvements on the use of production input were needed. The analysis result on the DMUs of the enbal agro-industries which were on constant return to scale position were 40,62%. This showed that enbal agro-industries actors have applied production input efficiently, for the production increase was equal to the use of input. In other words, the use of input was more proportional. The DMUs of enbal agro-industries which were on decreasing return to scale position were 15,63%. This showed that the use of production input had been unsuitable so that the output decreases and the production cost increased. Meanwhile, the DMUs that were on increasing return to scale position were 43,75%. This showed that the industry actors who used certain production input would create efficient DMUs. On the other hand, the input excess would possibly decrease the output. As a result, the industry actors should be concerned about the use of production input in order to establish business efficiency.

The aim of this paper is to measure the relative efficiency of commercial banks in two developing countries, the Republic of North Macedonia and the Republic of Croatia under the operating (incomebased) approach by using the leading non-parametric methodology data envelopment analysis (DEA). We follow Banker et al. (2010) in the selection of the approach, variables (two inputs: interest expense and other operating expense, and two outputs: interest revenue and other operating revenue) and the model (output-oriented BCC DEA model) as in their first stage. The observed period is five years (2015-2019) and we use a balanced panel data for both samples (total of 65 Macedonian and 100 Croatian bank-year observations). Outliers are identified and excluded by using the Banker and Gifford (1988) super-efficiency procedure, and the BCC output-oriented model is rerun for both samples (total 55 Macedonian and 95 Croatian bank-year observations). We provide relative efficiency scores for each bank in both sectors, as well as an average score for the banking sectors. In addition, we analyse few banks for both sectors that have decreased or increased the efficiency, or show variable results over time. Besides, we explain how inefficient banks can improve the efficiency in future by setting targets for improvement. Our study provides valuable information for banking management and regulatory bodies.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efisiensi relatif pemberian kredit modal ventura terhadap nelayan di Kabupaten Tegal yang melakukan penangkapan menggunakan alat tangkap cantrang. Data yang digunakan terdiri dari data primer dan sekunder. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) digunakan untuk mengetahui efisiensi relatif nelayan penerima kredit ventura dibandingkan nelayan bukan penerima. Analisis juga dikembangkan dengan menggunakan 2 skenario yaitu maksimisasi output dan minimisasi biaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dengan menggunakan seluruh variabel input dan output, maka 6 dari 7 nelayan penerima kredit ventura efisien 100% dan hanya 2 nelayan responden tidak menerima kredit ventura yang memiliki efisiensi 100%. Berdasarkan skenario 1 dan 2, hanya 2 nelayan penerima kredit ventura yang mengalami efisiensi 100%; sedangkan yang lainnya berkisar antara 70% - 100%. Nelayan tidak menerima kredit ventura memiliki efisiensi < 70%. Pemberian kredit modal ventura dapat meningkatkan efisensi usaha perikanan tangkap terutama bagi nelayan yang melakukan penangkapan jauh dari pantai. Tittle: Efficiency analysis of Ventura Capital Credit for Fisher's Household (Case Study of Fishers in Tegal District)This research aimed to understand relative efficiency of the ventura credits to Tegal district's fishers whose cantrang fishing unit. This research used primary and secondary data and applied Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to find out relative efficiency of fisher who receive the ventura credit, and compare it with the fishermen without ventura credit. By using two scenarios of maximization output and minimization input, this research results show that using all output and input variables, six of seven fishers received ventura credit have a relative efficiency of 100% and only 2 fishers not received the ventura credit have relative efficiency 100%. Based on first and second scenarios, 2 fishers received ventura credit have a relative efficiency of 100% and others have a relative efficiency ranging from 70% to 100%. Fishers who are not received ventura credit have a relative efficiency less than 70%. Ventura credit enables to increase relative efficiency of fishers, especially for those who fishing beyond coastal area

This paper aims at measuring the relative efficiency of the most polluting industry in terms of water pollution in Pakistan. The textile processing is country‘s leading sub sector in textile manufacturing with regard to value added production, export, employment, and foreign exchange earnings. The data envelopment analysis technique is employed to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units that uses several inputs to produce desirable and undesirable outputs. The efficiency scores of all manufacturing units exhibit the environmental consciousness of few producers is which may be due to state regulations to control pollution but overall the situation is far from satisfactory. Effective measures and instruments are still needed to check the rising pollution levels in water resources discharged by textile processing industry of the country.

Window Analysis

Although resources are scarce and outputs incorporate the potential to save human lives, efficiency measurement endeavors with data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods are not yet commonplace in the research and practice of non-government organizations (NGO) and states involved in humanitarian logistics. We present a boot-strapped DEA window analysis and Malmquist index application as a methodological state of the art for a multi-input and multi-output efficiency analysis and discuss specific adaptions to typical core challenges in humanitarian logistics. A characteristic feature of humanitarian operations is the fact that a multitude of organizations are involved on at least two levels, national and supra-national, as well as in two sectors, private NGO and government agencies. This is modeled and implemented in an international empirical analysis: First, a comprehensive dataset from the 34 least developed countries in Africa from 2002 to 2015 is applied for the first time in such a DEA Malmquist index efficiency analysis setting regarding the national state actor level. Second, an analysis of different sections in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh is analyzed based on a bootstrapped DEA with window analysis application for 2017, 2018, and 2019 quarter data regarding the private NGO level of operations in humanitarian logistics.
