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.

The aim of this paper is to assess the relative efficiency of commercial banks in one developing country, i.e. the Republic of North Macedonia by using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique-window analysis. The selection of inputs and outputs plays a key role when applying DEA for assessing the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). In the conducted research two inputs and two outputs have been selected. The sample consists of 14 commercial banks and the period that is being observed is an eleven year span from 2007 to 2017. According to the average efficiency score for the whole observed period, the most efficient bank belongs to the group of large banks, which simultaneously shows the highest efficiency. The banking sector in the Republic of North Macedonia, as a whole, showed the highest efficiency in 2007, and the lowest efficiency in 2011.

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 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.

Depending on the general or specific objectives, for the improvement of forest species and to assess performance of proveniences in different environmental conditions, it is necessary to install comparative trials. These comparative trials include descendants of Forest Genetic Resources (RGF) from three provenance regions (A, B, C) of the Republic of Moldova, and are being intended to monitor the performance of descendants over time. The performance of descendants will be evaluated through different statistical approaches of biometric parameters. The study of comparative cultures will contribute to establish over time most adapted and stable proveniences for region where permanent trials are installed. The selection of most adapted proveniences is the first mandatory stage in any tree improvement program, because in addition to estimating provenances ability to adapt, are also evaluated quantitative traits such as growth performances and wood quality and plasticity.

There have been various analyses of the efficiency of container port (or terminal) production using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based on cross-sectional data. When time is not considered, the efficiency results derived using this approach can be biased. In order to overcome this problem, this paper applies DEA windows analysis, utilising panel data, to a sample of the world’s major container ports in order to deduce their relative efficiency. The results suggest that estimates of container port efficiency fluctuate over time. The paper concludes that existing programming methods for estimating efficiency are inadequate in capturing the long-term increased efficiency and competitiveness that accrue from significant investments.

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

The purpose of this study is to measure and analyze the relative efficiency of saving and credit cooperative units in North Aceh, Indonesia. In this study, the selection of inputs and outputs to be analyzed by the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was selected using the intermediation approach. The results showed that the overall saving and credit cooperative units in North Aceh, Indonesia have not operated fully efficient. This is indicated by the average of value of Malmquist Productivity Index which was still below one, but individually the study found that some cooperatives have operated efficiently, such as cooperative employee of PT Pupuk Iskandar Muda (Persero), KPN Kopebun, KPN Citra Guru, KPN Tunas and Kopbun Cut Mutia. These findings implied that more serious efforts should be made by the saving and credit cooperative units in North Aceh, Indonesia to improve the cooperative management efficiency levels by managing their capital and assets professionally.
