Race to the bottom or swimming upstream: Performance analysis of US airlines
TLDR
Using Tobit specifications, results for the US for 1985–2006 indicate that airline performance is converging over time and airlines inter-temporal inefficiency peaked earlier and then converged, and airlines efficiency tends to be robustly affected by block hours; reducing them increases efficiency.About:

Energy efficiency of selected OECD countries : a slacks based model with undesirable outputs
TL;DR: In this article, an efficiency assessment of selected OECD countries using a Slacks Based Model with undesirable or bad outputs (SBM-Undesirable) is presented, which reveals different impacts of contextual variables, such as economic blocks and capital-labor ratio, on energy efficiency levels.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

Some Models for Estimating Technical and Scale Inefficiencies in Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: The CCR ratio form introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes, as part of their Data Envelopment Analysis approach, comprehends both technical and scale inefficiencies via the optimal value of the ratio form, as obtained directly from the data without requiring a priori specification of weights and/or explicit delineation of assumed functional forms of relations between inputs and outputs as mentioned in this paper.

Developing measures of airport productivity and performance: an application of data envelopment analysis
David Gillen,Ashish Lall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply Data Envelopment Analysis to assess the performance of airports and develop productivity measures for terminals and airside operations, which are then used in a second stage Tobit regression in which environmental, structural and managerial variables are included.
