The aim of this paper was to estimate efficiency using a directional distance function to compare performances of bus agencies to determine if they have made efforts to operate efficiently and reduce emissions and accidents since public transportation reforms 2004. Drivers, mechanics, staff, buses, and fuel were used as input data and vehicle-kilometers (a desirable output), accident costs, and emission costs (undesirable outputs) as output data during June 2005. As a result, the efficiency with undesirable outputs was lower than the efficiency without undesirable outputs. However, the number of efficient agencies was more in case of the consideration of undesirable outputs. The reason is that the number of agencies whose possibility to reduce undesirable outputs are less than the possibility to reduce inputs was increasing, while the efficiency deviation among agencies was larger in case of the consideration of undesirable outputs. Meanwhile, the increase of CNG buses and operating speed and the improvement of mechanical efficiency had positive influence on the efficiency.

This paper focuses on measuring the efficiency of container yards in container terminals in Busan and Gwangyang using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach. It analyses the relative efficiency of 11 container terminals based on the data for the period between 2006 and 2009 to offer a fresh perspective. The applied framework assumes inputs to be container cranes, transtainer cranes and yard tractors and output as container transshipment volume. Through the analysis, the differences between the impact of using of container cranes, transtainer cranes and yard tractors, top handler & reach stacker on container yard efficiency are measured. Moreover, the associations between the three input factors are analyzed as well. This paper also employs heteroscedastic Tobit model to show the impact of explanatory variables on container yard efficiencies. I took into consideration the strategies for operation of container cranes, transtainer cranes and yard tractors in container yard.

This study is to investigate seaport clustering by using meta-frontier and cross-efficiency models. Data covers the 13 Asian ports during 2009, 2010 and 2013 with 3 inputs(depth, total area, and number of cranes) and 1 output(TEU). Correlations coefficient from cross-efficiency matrix are used for measuring clustering dendrogram. After that, meta-frontier analysis for investigating whether the clustering using cross-efficiency method increases the meta-efficiency. Empirical main results are as follows: First, group efficiencies of Busan, Incheon, and Gwangyang ports are increased. Second, meta and group efficiencies of China ports are greater than those of Korean ports. Third, distortion of technology gap of Gwangyang is lower than that of Busan and Incheon. Fourth, Gwangyang, clustering with Ningbo, Chingtao, Tokyo and Caosung ports in 2009 and with Dubai port in 2013 can increase the efficiency. Fifth, to enhance the efficiency, Busan port should be clustered to group 2 in 2010 and group 1 in 2013, and Incheon port clustered to group 2 in 2010 and 2013. Fifth, it is empirically investigated that Busan, Incheon and Gwangyang ports can increase the efficiency by using Cross-efficiency and Meta-frontier models. Port policy planner should promote the clustering policy for Busan with Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore, Incheon and Gwangyang with Chingtao, Nagoya, Ningbo, Tokyo, and Kaoshung ports.

In this research, we analyze the efficiency of 20 public health centers of Gyeongnam Province, so the reduction and weakness of input and output factor were found. We used the CCR, BCC model of Data Envelopment Analysis as a method of evaluation, made a choice human resource as the input variable, made a selection the performance of health care center, ward as the output variable. The results show that 12(60%) public health centers in 20 were productive with respective to overall Technical Efficiency(average score 0.868), 14(70%) with respective to overall Pure Technical Efficiency(average score 0.924) and 12(60%) with respective to overall Scale Efficiency(average score 0.933). It is expected that this research can provide a good data for effective management of public health centers.

The purpose of this paper is to measure and analyze the efficiency of management in general bank. Each bank was analyzed to find out the efficiency and classified as efficient and inefficient bank. To the inefficient bank, the inefficient part and the extent are round out, the improvement methods of efficiency are suggested, and the effects of scale of bank on management efficiency by BCC model are analyzed. And, the differences between commercial bank and local bank also are examined. Empirical main results are as follows: Frist, After 2000, both of commercial and local bank shows the continuous improvement of the management efficiency. Second, the relative efficiency of management of commercial bank is higher than local bank except 2004. Third, there are differences in variables except equity ratio and no differences appeared in the management efficiency between commercial bank and local bank. Fourth, there are no influences or negative influences by M&A and reconstruction among banks in the effect of scale to the management efficiency.

다른 금융산업과 마찬가지로 생명보험산업의 효율성에 대한 실증연구는 두 가지 문제에 봉착하게 된다. 하나는 효율성을 실증적으로 추정하는 다양한 추정방법은 일관되게 동일한 결과를 도출하는가 하는 것이며 다른 문제는 효율성추정에 사용된 생산물정의에서 어떤 대리변수를 사용하는 것이 가장 좋으냐 하는 것이다. Yuengert(1993)은 미국 생보산업 전체의 효율성과 추정방법간의 관계를 보고하였는데 본 연구는 추정방법 뿐만 아니라 생보산업 생산물의 정의에 따라 개별생보사의 효율성지수가 차이가 있다는 것을 248개의 미국 생명보험희사를 대상으로 검증하였다. 본 논문에서는 계량 경제학적 방법중 널리 사용되는 SFA(stochastic frontier approach)중에서 비효율성이 half-normal, truncated normal, exponential 분포라고 한 방법들과 비분포방법(DFA: distribution free approach)을 사용하였다. 또 각 방법마다 거수보험료(premiums)와 claims-plus-reserve라는 새로운 생산물 대리변수로 사용하여 효율성을 측정하였다. 그리하여 총 8가지의 다른 방법으로 추정한 효율성지수를 비교, 분석하였다. 연구결과 표1과 2에서 나타난 바와 같이 SFA방법(1, 3, 5번)간에는 결과가 거의 일치하였고 같은 추정방법에서 생산물 대리변수가 다른 경우에도(1과2, 3과4, 5와6, 7과8) 결과는 큰 차이가 없었다. 이는 생보산업에서 거수보험료를 생산물 대리변수로 하는 것이 이론적 문제가 있음에도 불구하고 구조적 편견(systematic bias)은 나타나지 않았다는 Suret(1991)의 결과를 지지하고 있다. DFA방법(7과 8번)과 SFA방법(1-6번)간에는 상관계수는 낮게 나타났는데 이는 생보산업의 효율성을 각각 DFA와 SPA방법을 사용한 두 연구(Gardner and Grace, 1993; Zi, 1994) 결과의 차이와 일치하고 있다.

본 연구는 1990년대 초 중반의 한국의 화력발전소 자료를 이용하여 발전부문의 생산성 변화를 분석하되, 생산성 변화를 발전소간의 효율성 격차에 의한 부문과 발전부문 전체의 생산함수 이동을 통해 나타나는 기술변화로 나누어 분석하였다. 분석결과, 화력발전소간에는 의미있는 정도의 효율성 격차가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, 분석에 포함된 기간 동안 연평균 약 5% 정도의 생산성 증가가 발생하였고, 이 가운데 효율성 격차의 해소를 통한 생산성 증가가 약 2%, 그리고 기술진보에 의한 생산성 증가가 약 3%를 차지하였다.

Credit Guarantee scheme is one of the most effective tools for the small business policy. The performance analysis on domestic institution level is relevant in terms of various factors of assisting tools factor. This study measured comparative global efficiency by DEA model and Super-efficiency model among 70 credit guarantee institutions in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea who are operating the schemes. At the result of the analysis, Korean credit guarantee institutions are comparatively efficient than Japanese institutions, and the DMU shows moderate in operation efficiency. The Super-efficiency ranked by Hiroshima, Taiwan SMEG, Pusan, Chiba, Shizuoka, Ulsan, and KOTEC. Most of the Credit Guarantee Institutions showed increasing returns to scale, and it indicates increasing input strategy. The statistical difference of efficiency level in Japan and Korea shows very meaning numbers. This research suggest that (1)Periodical Analysis are needed on Japanese Schemes, (2)The analysis on the impact of credit guarantee scale to the national economy and SME policy, (3) Analysis on the conclusive factors of the efficiency, (4)The policy direction has to be made by inefficient factor analysis, (5) The measurement tools of efficiency of the schemes in various aspects.

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of superior appraisal corporations using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). DEA is known as a method for evaluating relative efficiency of organizations with multiple inputs and outputs. We used CCR-O and BCC-O DEA models to evaluate relative efficiency of superior appraisal corporations. Input variable is number of appraisers, output variables are total sales and net income. Total of 13 appraisal corporations in Korea were selected for this study, and the data were collected from financial reports for 2008 fiscal year. The result of this study is summarized as follows. First, the average of superior appraisal corporation's technical efficiency score is about 88.3% by applying CCR-O model. Second, the average of superior appraisal corporation's pure technical efficiency score is about 90% and scale efficiency score is about 98.2% by applying BCC-O model. According to the result of DEA, the cause of inefficiency is pure technical efficiency.
