Testing allocative efficiency by data envelopment analysis

Author

  • Jati Sengupta

Abstract

An allocative efficiency model based on data envelopment analysis is empirically tested here for evaluating the operational performance of international airlines for the period 1988-90. Results show some robustness of these efficiency measures in terms of stochastic dominance criteria.
