This paper applies a stochastic cost frontier model to a panel of 54 major airports over 2002-2008 to examine how the two dominant governance forms of publicly owned airports in the United States and Canada, namely, operation and governance by a government (city, county, or state) branch, or by an airport authority, affect airport efficiency performance. Our key findings are (a) airports operated by an airport authority achieve higher cost efficiency (on average, 14% higher technical efficiency) than those operated by a government branch; (b) airports operated by a government branch have lower labor share than those operated by an airport authority; and (c) there is no statistically significant difference in the efficiency performance between airports operated by U.S. airport authorities and Canadian airport authorities.

The Cost

To overcome the macroeconomic crisis of the early 1990s, the Government of India persuaded the state governments to adopt market-oriented reforms for loss-making state public sector undertakings in general and power sector utilities in particular with an aim to limit the overall size of the public sector. This led the state governments to undertake unbundling of their vertically integrated State Electricity Boards (SEBs), establish independent regulatory bodies in the form of State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) to regulate the power sector, and allow for an active participation of private sector. Given this backdrop, the present study attempts to examine the effect of establishment of SERCs on the cost-efficiency of electricity distribution in the Indian states. Thereby, it evaluates whether the establishment of SERCs has induced efficiency gains in the electricity distribution. Estimating a Cobb-Douglas stochastic cost frontier function, it finds that the establishment of independent regulators in various states has resulted in significant improvements in the cost-efficiency in the electricity distribution.

Variable Returns To Scale

The aim of the paper is to estimate the cost efficiency of the Czech and Slovak commercial banks within the period 2010-2014. For empirical analysis the Data Envelopment Analysis input-oriented model with variable returns to scale is applied on the data of the commercial banks. The intermediation approach is adopted to define the inputs and outputs. The Czech commercial banks are more cost efficient than Slovak commercial banks. The development of average cost efficiency is similar in the Czech and Slovak banking industry. The most efficient Czech banks are Ceská sporitelna and Sberbank in the Czech banking sector, the most efficient Slovak bank is Privatbanka with 100% efficiency.

Bad Debt

The paper aims at exploring the relationship between bad debt and cost efficiency in Vietnamese commercial banks in the years 2007 – 2013. The research includes two stages: (i) Measuring the cost efficiency of banks by non-parameter Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method suggested by Coelli (2005); and (ii) Applying the Tobit model to identify two-way effects of bad debt and bank cost efficiency. The results show that the cost efficiency in Vietnamese commercial banks is 52.6% and there exists a direct relationship between bad debt and cost efficiency.
