Abstract:
There are two sectors of banks operating in Indonesia, namely Sharia banks and conventional banks. Improving performance is important in maintaining public confidence in the bank. Efficiency is one of the parameters to measure the performance of Sharia banks. This study measures the comparative level of technical efficiency of Sharia commercial banks and conventional banks by Stochastic Frontier Analysis method during 2011–2015 period by using 10 samples of Sharia commercial banks and conventional banks. Input variables in this study are total deposits, operational costs, and other operational costs. Total financing is an output variable. The results of this study show that total deposits and operational costs have a positive and significant impact on total financing in Sharia and conventional banks. The average score of the technical efficiency of Sharia commercial banks during the period observed is 0.84 and conventional banks is 0.85.

Abstract:
This study examines the efficiency of rice production in Thailand, especially major rice, which is the main crop of farmers in all regions of Thailand and is still a pressing issue. Analyzing technical efficiency by using the appropriate analytical tools inevitably brings about determining the correct production efficiency measures. In this study, we applied the k-means algorithm and copula-based stochastic frontier model to cluster farmer groups in order to find the different factors that impact the group, and to relax the assumption of the two components of random error, which is that they are independent to each other; the correlation of the two components of random error is also represented by the estimation of copula. The findings from the k-means clustering algorithms applied in this study indicate that the production frontiers can be divided into two frontiers, with the number of farmers under the frontiers of such production differing from the number of farmers collected in each area. The production frontiers were obtained with 591 farmers under the first production frontier and 65 farmers under the second. In addition, the results reflected a correlation between the two error components U and V. This suggests inefficiencies and zero-mean, and that the symmetric error is not independent of each other. The findings from the application of the copula-based stochastic frontier production function models indicate that land, cost of chemicals, and labor inputs have significant positive effects on the mean output of major rice in both groups of farmers. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the financial services in rural areas should be continuously promoted by governmental policy, particularly via agricultural loans, to rural people since the utilization of inputs affects the quantity of rice produced. Timely loans should be encouraged.

Abstract:
Foundations, methodological and empirical possibilities of measurement and analysis in the performance of financial investments within investment funds have been developed since they were once introduced in the 1970s, thus establishing a path of growing acceptance in financial markets and universities’ academies. The first approaches over the efficiency of these funds, considering their stochastic implications, occurred in the late 1990s and have evolved with the help of SFA – Stochastic Frontier Analysis, although it still needs more careful verification. This article measured and analyzed the stochastic frontier of efficiency over 33 different Brazilian investment funds from 2012 to 2015. For doing so, Battese and Coelli’s (1995) specifications was used. It shows the effects of inefficiencies, which are defined as explicit functions of specific factors in the context of panel data funds. They are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Sharpe ratios (SR) were also calculated for comparative purposes. Based on these two indicators (SFA and SR), the most recommendable funds to invest and the ones in which the application should not be performed were identified. Such procedures have stimulated the necessary and promising studies, as well as future researches, which, in turn, may establish new methodological formulation as an efficient and effective instrument to choose the best and the safest funds to invest.

Abstract:
This paper highlights the sensitivity of technical efficiency estimates to estimation approaches using empirical data. Firm specific technical efficiency and mean technical efficiency are estimated using the non parametric Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) and the parametric Corrected Ordinary Least Squares (COLS) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approaches. Mean technical efficiency is found to be sensitive to the choice of estimation technique. Analysis of variance and Tukey’s test suggests significant differences in means between efficiency scores from different methods. In general the DEA and SFA frontiers resulted in higher mean technical efficiency estimates than the COLS production frontier. The efficiency estimates of the DEA have the smallest variability when compared with the SFA and COLS. There exists a strong positive correlation between the efficiency estimates based on the three methods.

Abstract:
This paper examines the efficiency of the large-scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan using parametric as well as non-parametric frontier techniques. Production frontiers are estimated for two periods─1995-96 and 2000-01─for 101 industries at the 5-digit PSIC. The results show that there has been some improvement in the efficiency of the large-scale manufacturing sector, though the magnitude of improvement remains small. The results are mixed at the disaggregated level: whereas a majority of industrial groups have gained in terms of technical efficiency, some industries have shown deterioration in their efficiency levels. The results from both the approaches are consistent, and in line with similar studies.

SEVERINI, SABRINA. "Pricing and Interactions on IPO primary market." Doctoral thesis, Università Politecnica delle Marche, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11566/263526.

Abstract:
La tesi consiste in tre saggi sul pricing nel mercato primario delle Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Lo scopo dello studio è quello di analizzare l’impatto che, relazioni ripetute fra banche di investimento e investitori istituzionali hanno, sulle dinamiche di prezzo nella fase di quotazione del titolo. In particolare, la rassegna della letteratura, proposta nel primo saggio, evidenzia come le relazioni fra i principali attori coinvolti nel processo di quotazione condizionano l’intero mercato primario. Tuttavia, la mancanza di dati ufficiali, su allocazioni ed offerte degli investitori istituzionali, ha reso difficile stabilire se dette relazioni determinano un conflitto di interessi o una riduzione delle asimmetrie informative. Nel secondo saggio viene proposto un modello di pricing del mercato primario nel quale il mancato aggiustamento del prezzo di offerta rispetto al massimo potenziale viene spiegato dall’intensità delle relazioni fra banche e investitori istituzionali partecipanti all’IPO. Utilizzando un modello di frontiera stocastica ed un campione di 1,677 IPOs quotatesi fra il 2000 e il 2016, sul NASDAQ e sul NYSE, lo studio dimostra che il prezzo di offerta viene fissato più vicino al valore “fair” dell’emittente quando partecipano coppie di banche-investitori istituzionali con relazioni pregresse. Infine, il terzo studio analizza le dinamiche che guidano la scelta della forchetta dei prezzi nella fase di due diligence. Utilizzando diverse misure di centralità derivanti dalla Social Network Analysis (SNA) e impiegando un campione di 1,246 IPOs quotatesi fra il 2000 e il 2016, sul NASDAQ e sul NYSE, lo studio dimostra che IPOs, nelle quali le banche capofila sono in una posizione centrale rispetto al network di investitori e con un più alto livello di investor attention (catturata attraverso il volume di ricerche su Google), hanno maggiore probabilità di fissare una forchetta dei prezzi conforme a quanto stabilito dalla SEC. Lo studio propone anche un’analisi sulle determinanti della dimensione della forchetta dei prezzi.
This dissertation consists of three related essays on Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) primary market pricing. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of underwriters- institutional investors on IPO primary market pricing. In the first essay we review existing literature by highlighting the way in which relationships between the key parties of an IPO (issuing firm, investment banks, and institutional investors) shape the entire pricing process. Because of the lack of transparency in bidding and allocation data, existing mixed evidence on IPO primary market suggests that the role of repeated interactions between the three major parties might play a crucial role in that they are likely to reduce the likelihood of asymmetric information problems or increase the conflict of interest. In the second essay we propose a model of primary market pricing in which the incomplete adjustment of the offer price to its maximum achievable level depends on the intensity of interactions between underwriters- institutional investors in the years before the IPO. Using a stochastic frontier approach on a sample of 1,677 US IPOs between 2000 and 2016, the paper shows that the more these players regularly work together, the more the IPO offer price is set closer to the fair value of the issuing firm. Finally, we investigate the mechanisms that are behind the way IPO price ranges are set in the due diligence step. Using different network centrality measures on a sample of 1,246 US IPOs issued between 2004 and 2016, we demonstrate that IPOs underwritten by book managers having more central investors’ networks and a higher level of investor attention (proxied by the search volume in Google) are more likely to be set with a price range that follows SEC’s indications. This study also provides an analysis of the determinants of the dimension of the IPO filing price ranges.

Abstract:
Nel corso degli ultimi venti anni, l’industria dei servizi finanziari ha mostrato una forte tendenza all’integrazione e al consolidamento: in Europa il fenomeno della bancassicurazione ha conosciuto un particolare successo, sollecitando l’interesse del mondo accademico e professionale. Come sottolineato da Chen et al. (2008), la maggior parte degli studi sulla bancassicurazione presenta carattere descrittivo e analizza in modo qualitativo i vantaggi e gli svantaggi per le imprese finanziarie coinvolte. Le poche verifiche empiriche dei benefici derivanti dalla bancassicurazione risultano concentrate sulla riduzione del rischio ottenibile grazie alla combinazione di due attività non perfettamente correlate fra loro. I benefici in termini di efficienza, derivanti da sinergie di costo e di ricavo, rimangono invece un tema poco esplorato, nonostante le economie di scopo sia uno dei più validi motivi economici per la diversificazione delle banche nel settore assicurativo. L’obiettivo della tesi è quindi quello di valutare se le iniziative di bancassicurazione consentano la realizzazione di economie di costo e di ricavo, sia dal punto di vista delle banche che delle compagnie di assicurazione. I risultati dell’analisi di frontiera condotta nel settore bancario forniscono solo deboli evidenze a favore della bancassicurazione. L’analisi del settore assicurativo mostra come la vendita di polizze vita tramite sportelli bancari sia una valida strategia distributiva, pur evidenziando come i prodotti a elevato contenuto finanziario, caratteristici della bancassicurazione, siano meno onerosi da gestire, ma anche meno profittevoli, soprattutto nelle fasi di mercato meno euforiche. Il mix di prodotti, quindi, deve essere continuamente rivisto per rispondere ai mutamenti nelle esigenze della clientela e nell’andamento dei mercati finanziari. Alla luce di tali considerazioni, le banche dovrebbero scegliere attentamente il proprio modello di bancassicurazione, considerando anche le alternative più flessibili, come la sigla di accordi di distribuzione o di alleanze strategiche non equity.
During the last 20 years, financial services industry has experimented a general trend of integration and consolidation: in Europe the combination between the banking and the insurance activities, named “bancassurance”, has become particularly successful, catching the attention of managers and academia. As outlined in Chen et al. (2008), most studies dealing with bancassurance have only been descriptive in nature, providing a broad insight into economic rationales, advantages and drawbacks for all the institutions involved. Only few authors have provided quantitative findings, focussing on the potential risk diversification benefits associated with bank expansion into the insurance industry, while potential efficiency gains are still a poorly investigated issue, even if cost and revenue synergies are commonly recognised as the most valid economic rationale. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon assessing if bancassurance results in efficiency gains from both the banking and the insurance sides. Results from the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) on the banking side show only weak evidence in favour of entering the life business. Investigating the insurance side, we find that the competitive viability of bancassurance as a distribution channel is relevant and consolidated, especially from the cost side, while insurance products with an high financial content appear less profitable than traditional protection insurance. As a consequence the mix of products should be continuously revised in the light of customers’ needs and financial markets evolution; then banks should carefully choose the most convenient bancassurance model, considering also the alternative of flexible and reversible forms of cooperation, such as cross selling agreements and non equity financial alliances.

Abstract:
La tesi mira innanzitutto a verificare l’esistenza delle differenze tecnologiche tra i sistemi bancari islamici e quelli convenzionali nelle regioni MENA e SEA, e in secondo luogo ad investigare l’impatto della produttività bancaria sulla crescita economica nella regione MENA. Questa tesi è stata strutturata con lo scopo di rispondere ai seguenti quesiti di ricerca: 1. Le banche islamiche sono più efficienti sotto il profilo dei costi rispetto alle loro controparti convenzionali? 2. Esistono differenze nella tecnologia (o nelle tecnologie impiegate) tra le banche islamiche e le banche convenzionali? 3. Quale impatto ha l’efficienza bancaria dei costi sulla crescita economica della regione MENA? E la crescita influenza a sua volta l’efficienza stessa? Abbiamo iniziato con una panoramica del sistema bancario islamico, le radici della finanza islamica e le sue fondamenta. Poi abbiamo condotto un’analisi empirica con lo scopo di rispondere al primo e al secondo quesito della ricerca. I nostri risultati suggeriscono che le banche islamiche sono leggermente meno efficienti dal lato dei costi rispetto alle loro omologhe banche convenzionali. Interessante notare che le differenze evidenziate in termini tecnologici tra le due industrie bancarie sono state piccolissime. È emerso il fatto che le banche islamiche non sono sufficientemente coinvolte negli schemi di condivisione dei profitti e perdite ma tendono a replicare i prodotti delle banche convenzionali attraverso una “islamizzazione” degli stessi. La nostra seconda analisi empirica nel quarto capitolo ci ha consentito di rispondere al terzo quesito della ricerca. Il nostro scopo in questa analisi era quello di rintracciare il nesso tra l’efficienza bancaria (dei costi) e la crescita. Con i nostri risultati abbiamo potuto evidenziare che le banche, nei paesi scelti nella regione MENA mostrano elevati livelli di efficienza dei costi. Abbiamo trovato un significativo e positivo nesso di causalità e una relazione inversa tra il maggior grado di sviluppo dei mercati finanziari e la produttività delle banche. Infine possiamo suggerire che bisognerebbe concentrare gli sforzi sull’efficienza negli investimenti e nell’incrementare la regolamentazione per spronare un sistema finanziario stabile e favorire un maggior grado di sviluppo del sistema finanziario nel futuro, visto che questo potrà permettere un ciclo virtuoso tra sviluppo finanziario e la produttività delle banche.
This thesis investigates, through three essays, the cost efficiency of the banking system in the Middle East and North Africa, and the South East Asia regions. Firstly, it provides empirical evidence on the technology gap between Islamic and conventional banking in both regions, and then investigates the nexus between cost efficiency and economic growth in the Middle East and North Africa region specifically. The first chapter provides a theoretical framework for Islamic finance and banking beforehand and aims to explain the foundations of Islamic finance along with an overview of the two banking models in practice. We underline the importance of the profit and loss sharing schemes as a cornerstone for Islamic finance contribution to social welfare. The second chapter offers an empirical study to investigate the existence of a technology gap between Islamic and conventional banking (due to Quranic law compliance) resulting in different cost efficiency levels. By focusing on twelve emerging countries from the Middle East and North Africa, and the South East Asia regions, between 2000 and 2006. We apply a Metafrontier approach finding that, on average, both types of bank display similar mean cost efficiency and technology levels. At the country level, we find substantial cost efficiency differences, but these are not due to the technology gap. The third chapter examines the nexus between cost efficiency and economic growth in the Middle East and North Africa region. We apply a causality analysis between cost efficiency and financial deepening using the Generalized Methods of Moments and our findings show a significant and positive causality and reverse relationship between financial deepening and banking productivity. We introduce a set of control variables associated with the long run growth and find an interesting interaction with banking productivity and financial deepening suggesting that efforts should be focusing on the investments’ efficiency and the increase of regulation to spur a more stable financial system and foster financial deepening in the future.

Abstract:
Current estimates indicate that Member States are not on track to achieve the 20% energy efficiency target by 2020. The objective of this study is to estimate the technical efficiency of the electricity and gas demand in the residential sector of the European Member States from 1995 to 2010, to provide an alternative measurement of efficiency (by comparing the results of the estimated electricity and gas efficiency with electricity and gas savings, and electricity and gas intensity), and to calculate the CO2 potential savings of electricity and gas in the residential sector of the European Member States if they were efficient. In order to estimate the technical electricity efficiency of each country, we use price, GDP per capita, average household size, population, heating degree days, cooling degree days and policy measures as controlling variables, while technical gas efficiency of each country is measured by price, GDP per capita, average floor area of dwellings, population, heating degree days and policy measures. Stochastic frontier analysis, which provides a measure of the shortfall of the observed output from the frontier (the maximum feasible output), is applied to present the technical electricity and gas efficiency score for each country. This instrument gives the minimum level of electricity and gas consumption necessary for households to produce any given level of electricity and gas services, such as electrical appliances and lighting, cooking, space heating, water heating and air cooling. The gap between the frontier and the technical efficiency scores represents the inefficient use of electricity and gas (“wasted and misused” energy). The smaller the gap, the more efficient the state is. The analysis suggests that for most of the countries, the electricity and gas savings and the electricity and gas intensity are not proper indicators for estimating the improvements in efficiency. In terms of CO2 emissions, if the European Member States operated at an efficient level, 14.5% and 23.8% of CO2 emissions of electricity and gas energy, could be saved respectively.

Abstract:
This paper provides a systematic review of the literature that employs stochastic frontier analysis to measure the efficiency of higher education institutions. The overview opens with a look at the general development of the literature, before emphasis is laid on the methodical aspects. Focus is thereby placed on the necessary underlying assumptions and the employed specifications, discussing their advantages and drawbacks. Afterwards, the factors that were specified in the literature, including the input and output variables, as well as the determinants of efficiency, are discussed in detail. Based on the insights of the literature review, the paper highlights some of the existing deficiencies and ways forward. To our knowledge, the present study provides the first systematic review on the usage of the stochastic frontier analysis to measure efficiency in the higher education sector.

Abstract:
Stochastic frontier analysis is an exciting method of economic production modeling that is relevant to hospitals, stock markets, manufacturing factories, and services. In this paper, we create a new model using the normal distribution and truncated skew-Laplace distribution, namely the normal-truncated skew-Laplace model. This is a generalized model of the normal-exponential case. Furthermore, we compute the true technical efficiency and estimated technical efficiency of the normal-truncated skewed-Laplace model. Also, we compare the technical efficiencies of normal-truncated skewed-Laplace model and normal-exponential model.

Zhang, Miao. "The comparison of stochastic frontier analysis with panel data models." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2012. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/9643.

Full text
Abstract:
From the idea of efficiency raised by Koopmans in 1951, and the panel data first introduced into the efficiency analysis by Pitt and Lee (1981) and Schmidt and Sickles (1984), the techniques of stochastic frontier analysis are fast developed and the applications of stochastic frontier are widely used in different areas, such as education, industry and hospital. But most researchers focus on only one aspect, either the development of new models or empirical applications. This thesis attempts to fill the gap to get a general idea of the properties of different panel data stochastic frontier models, on both statistical aspects and economic aspects, by the comparison of different models applied to different production applications. The thesis is also attempt to shed light on whether particular panel data stochastic frontier models are better suited to different data sets. The models selected capture the simplest situation, with no heterogeneity or heteroscedasticity, and complicated ones, with exogenous variables included in the models. Not only the classical models, such as the Pitt and Lee (1981) and Battese and Coelli (1992.1995), but also the new developed models, such as the latent class model and fixed management model are detected in the thesis. On the economic aspect, the data selected captures both microeconomic and macroeconomic, with the application to the World GDP and the Italian manufacturing industry. The results show that: the panel data stochastic frontier models perform better on the microeconomic level than on the macroeconomic level; the classical models perform better than the new developed ones; some panel data stochastic frontier models make ideal assumptions but the requirements to the dataset are hard to achieve; that the influence from the exogenous variables is quite strong.

Full text
Abstract:
Moldovan agriculture is still characterized by a pronounced structural dualism with a very large number of small-scale family farms. The accentuated poverty makes rural economy to flow more and more to a natural subsistence economy, isolating itself from the market economy. The scope of the paper is to assess the farm performance and its contribution to the development of rural areas. The research analysis is based on national statistics and survey data of 723 farms. In order to assess farm performance technical efficiency (TE) and stochastic frontier analysis is used. The contribution of different types of income on the farm development level is analysed through regression analysis. Increasing of farm performance through a higher efficiency and competitiveness could be regarded as the key solution to the low income problem of rural families.

Full text
Abstract:
The need to enhance food security while reducing poverty along with the growing threat imposed by climate change clearly reveal that it is imperative to accelerate agricultural productivity growth. This paper estimates micro-level production models to identify the major factors that have contributed to productivity growth in El Salvador, including irrigation, purchased inputs, mechanization, technical assistance, and farm size, among others. The econometric framework adopted in this investigation is grounded on recent panel data stochastic production frontier methodologies. The results obtained from the estimation of these models are used to calculate Total Factor Productivity (TFP) change and to decompose such change into different factors, including technological progress, technical efficiency (TE), and economies of scale. The findings imply that efforts are needed to improve productivity in both technological progress and technical efficiency where the latter is a measurement of managerial performance. This in turn indicates that resources should be devoted to promoting the adoption and diffusion of improved technologies while enhancing managerial capabilities through agricultural extension.

Full text
Abstract:
Discerning the dynamics of complex systems in a mathematically rigorous and physically consistent manner is as fascinating as intimidating of a challenge, stirring deeply and intrinsically with the most fundamental Physics, while at the same time percolating through the deepest meanders of quotidian life. The socio-natural coevolution in climate dynamics is an example of that, exhibiting a striking articulation between governing principles and free will, in a stochastic-dynamic resonance that goes way beyond a reductionist dichotomy between cosmos and chaos. Subjacent to the conceptual and operational interdisciplinarity of that challenge, lies the simple formal elegance of a lingua franca for communication with Nature. This emerges from the innermost mathematical core of the Physics of Coevolutionary Complex Systems, articulating the wealth of insights and flavours from frontier natural, social and technical sciences in a coherent, integrated manner. Communicating thus with Nature, we equip ourselves with formal tools to better appreciate and discern complexity, by deciphering a synergistic codex underlying its emergence and dynamics. Thereby opening new pathways to see the “invisible” and predict the “unpredictable” – including relative to emergent non-recurrent phenomena such as irreversible transformations and extreme geophysical events in a changing climate. Frontier advances will be shared pertaining a dynamic that translates not only the formal, aesthetical and functional beauty of the Physics of Coevolutionary Complex Systems, but also enables and capacitates the analysis, modelling and decision support in crucial matters for the environment and society. By taking our emerging Physics in an optic of operational empowerment, some of our pioneering advances will be addressed such as the intelligence system Earth System Dynamic Intelligence and the Meteoceanics QITES Constellation, at the interface between frontier non-linear dynamics and emerging quantum technologies, to take the pulse of our planet, including in the detection and early warning of extreme geophysical events from Space.

Perdigão, Rui A. P. Earth System Dynamic Intelligence - ESDI. Meteoceanics, April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.46337/esdi.210414.

Full text
Abstract:
Earth System Dynamic Intelligence (ESDI) entails developing and making innovative use of emerging concepts and pathways in mathematical geophysics, Earth System Dynamics, and information technologies to sense, monitor, harness, analyze, model and fundamentally unveil dynamic understanding across the natural, social and technical geosciences, including the associated manifold multiscale multidomain processes, interactions and complexity, along with the associated predictability and uncertainty dynamics. The ESDI Flagship initiative ignites the development, discussion and cross-fertilization of novel theoretical insights, methodological developments and geophysical applications across interdisciplinary mathematical, geophysical and information technological approaches towards a cross-cutting, mathematically sound, physically consistent, socially conscious and operationally effective Earth System Dynamic Intelligence. Going beyond the well established stochastic-dynamic, information-theoretic, artificial intelligence, mechanistic and hybrid techniques, ESDI paves the way to exploratory and disruptive developments along emerging information physical intelligence pathways, and bridges fundamental and operational complex problem solving across frontier natural, social and technical geosciences. Overall, the ESDI Flagship breeds a nascent field and community where methodological ingenuity and natural process understanding come together to shed light onto fundamental theoretical aspects to build innovative methodologies, products and services to tackle real-world challenges facing our planet.
