TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) on the same set of container port data for the world's largest container ports and compared the results obtained.
Abstract: The efficiency of the container port industry has been variously studied utilising either Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) or Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Given the strengths and weaknesses associated with these two approaches, the efficiency estimates and scale properties derived from these analyses are not always convincing. This paper applies both approaches to the same set of container port data for the world’s largest container ports and compares the results obtained. A high degree of correlation is found between the efficiency estimates derived from all the models applied, suggesting that results are relatively robust to the DEA models applied or the distributional assumptions under SFA. High levels of technical efficiency are associated with scale, greater private-sector participation and with transhipment as opposed to gateway ports. In analysing the implications of the results for management and policy makers, a number of shortcomings of applying a cross-sectional approach to an industry characterised by significant, lumpy and risky investments are identified and the potential benefits of a dynamic analysis, based on panel data, are enumerated.

TL;DR: The proposed 3D DSN is capable of conducting volume‐to‐volume learning and inference, which can eliminate redundant computations and alleviate the risk of over‐fitting on limited training data, and the3D deep supervision mechanism can effectively cope with the optimization problem of gradients vanishing or exploding when training a 3D deep model.

TL;DR: The authors examined the empirical association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and tax avoidance and found that firms with excessive irresponsible CSR activities have a higher likelihood of engaging in tax sheltering activities and greater discretionary/permanent book-tax differences.
Abstract: We examine the empirical association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and tax avoidance. Our findings suggest that firms with excessive irresponsible CSR activities have a higher likelihood of engaging in tax sheltering activities and greater discretionary/permanent book-tax differences. Moreover, at the onset of FASB Interpretation No. 48, these firms have more uncertain tax positions; also, these firms’ initial tax positions are likely supported by weaker facts and circumstances as indicated by their larger post-FIN 48 settlements with tax authorities and their higher likelihood of a net decrease in the overall level of uncertain tax positions after FIN 48. Collectively, these results suggest that firms with excessive irresponsible CSR activities are more aggressive in avoiding taxes, lending credence to the idea that corporate culture affects tax avoidance.
