Improving productive efficiency is important for strengthening a competitiveness of coastal fisheries. This paper examines the productive efficiency of a sample of coastal gillnet fishing business units by estimating a stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approaches and compares those estimates obtained from two approaches. The estimated mean productive efficiency by SFA is 77.6% and the mean productive efficiencies obtained for the VRS and CRS DEA are 75.9% and 45.7%, respectively. The joint use of SFA and DEA for estimating efficiency is also discussed.

Based on the survey on aquaculture management status in Nohwa-eup, Bogil-myeon, Wando-eup in Wando region, this study aimed to estimate productive efficiencies of abalone aquaculture production using a stochastic frontier approach (SFA) and to find out their determinants. In the analysis, a Cobb-Douglas production function with an inefficiency term that follows an halfnormal distribution was assumed for the estimation of productive efficiencies. Then, based on the outcomes of productive efficiencies, determinants of productive efficiency were investigated using a tobit regression model. Results showed that the average inefficiency was estimated to be 10% and the production size would be a statistically significant variable for the production. In addition, it was shown that the cage installing method would be an important factor affecting to the level of productive efficiency.

The main purpose of this research is to measure and analyze how productive the health centers are and how much inputs(or outputs) in the inefficient health centers should be decreased(or increased) for efficiency. The evaluation of the performance of health centers gives a strong incentive to improve resource allocation in regional health planning. It has been, however, implemented very rarely until now. In this regard, this paper measures the performance of the health centers with a single indicator for multiple-outputs in terms of productivity(technical efficiency), based on Data Envelopment method. The 20 Kyungnam health centers which provide clinic services and specific primary health care services were analyzed. The results show that 50.0% of 20 health centers were productive with respective to overall technical efficiency, 65.0% were productive for pure technical efficiency, and 50.0% for scale efficiency. The inefficient group includes Geoje, Mahsan, Miryang, Sahchun, Tongyoung, Gosung, Nahmhae, Euryang, Hahmahn, Hahbchun health centers. The worst case was identified as Tongyoung health center which represented a 47.5% efficiency, compared with productive health centers. The empirical results for input-output analysis indicates that the low-productive health centers have excessive manpower in administration department, producing low outputs in clinical services and vaccination program. These findings imply that a systemic evaluation of the performance of the Korean health centers and the subsequent structural reform are strongly required.

The purpose of this paper is to Investigate the productive efficiency and competitive strength of world container ports using the DEA, Super-efficiency, and FDH methods with the raw data from previous research by Jun et al.(1993). The super-efficiency measure examines the maximal radial change In input, outputs for an observation to remain efficient. Therefore, it provides a means of distinguishing between efficient observations, which would otherwise seem identical. FDH provides a good test mechanism for examining the practical implications of the choice available among alternative efficiency measures and orientations, because of the lack of convexity of its production possibility set. Both methods are complementary to DEA. This paper follows the traditional productivity analysis method overcoming the limitation of previous studies by using the DEA, FDH and Super-efficiency methods, and proposing in measure the relative competitive strength of worldwide container ports. The main empirical results of this paper are as follows: Firstly the ports of Singapore, Hongkong, Kilrung, Busan, Tokyo. and Longbeach were found to be efficient In the CCR model. The ports of Felixstowe, Bangkok, Singapore, Hongkong, Kilung, Busan, Tokyo, and Longbeach were found to be efficient in the BCC model. Secondly, super. efficiency rankings under CRS and input-oriented model are as follows: Longbeach, Keelung, Singapore, Busan, Tokyo, and Honkong. However, it was difficult In differenciate the rankings under the VRS and input-oriented model. due to major difficulties posed by the ports of Singapore, Hongkong, and Longbeach. Thirdly, the FDH method shows that the inefficient ports are Bremerhaven, Antwerp, Le Havre, Kobe, Seattle, New York The policy Implications of this study are as follows: Firstly, when port authorities want to measure the international competitive strength of container ports and enhance their productive efficiency, they should consider the traditional method as well as introducing the Super-efficiency and FDH methods. Secondly, according to the analysis results of the super-efficiency and FDH methods, poll authorities should recommend benchmarks ports and dominated ports as reference ports in order to enhance the productive efficiency of their container ports that have an efficiency rating of less than 1. Efficient ports whose efficiency ratings are over 1 in the Input-oriented Super-efficiency model should also consider the usage of input and output elements used by more efficient ports.

Data on 1,037 Nili-Ravi buffaloes from four institutional herds were used to study lifetime milk yield, herd life, productive life and breeding efficiency. A general linear model was used to study the environmental effects while an animal model having herd, year of birth and age at first calving (as covariate) along with random animal effect was used to estimate breeding values. The lifetime milk yield, herd life, productive life and breeding efficiency averaged $7,723{\pm}164$ kg, $3,990{\pm}41$ days, $1,061{\pm}19$ days and 64 percent, respectively. All the traits were significantly (p<0.01) affected by the year of birth and herd of calving, while the herd life was also affected (p<0.01) by the age at first calving. The heritabilities for lifetime milk yield, herd life, productive life and breeding efficiency were $0.093{\pm}0.056$, $0.001{\pm}0.055$, $0.144{\pm}0.079$ and 0.001, respectively. The definition for productive life, where each lactation gets credit upto 10 months had slightly better heritability and may be preferred over the definition where no limit is placed on lactation length. The genetic correlation between productive life and lifetime milk yield was low but high between productive life and herd life. The selection for productive life will increase herd life while lifetime milk yield will also improve. The overall phenotypic trend during the period under the study was negative for lifetime milk yield (-280 kg/year), herd life (-93 days), productive life (-42 days/year) and breeding efficiency (-0.36 percent/year), whereas the genetic trend was positive for lifetime milk yield (+15 kg/year) and productive life (+4 days/year).

본 연구에서는 철도산업의 효율성을 측정하는데 있어 내부요인인 운영기관의 생산활동 뿐만 아니라 구조개혁으로 인한 조직유형, 사회경제적 관점에서 통제 불가능한 환경요인 등이 철도산업 효율성을 결정짓는데 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 우리나라를 비롯하여 1990년 이후 구조개혁이 활발히 진행된 유럽국가와 일본을 대상으로, 철도산업 효율성 측정에 적합한 DEA방법을 이용하여 1990년~2006년까지의 효율성 값을 구하였다. 그 결과 우리나라는 모든 연도에 걸쳐 상대적으로 효율적으로 추정되었고, 전반적으로 평가대상국들의 효율성이 시간이 지남에 따라 향상되었음을 나타내었다. 또한 효율성 결정요인을 분석하고자 DEA방법으로 추정된 효율성 값을 종속변수로 하고, 구조개혁으로 인한 조직유형, 사회경제적 환경요인을 독립변수로 한 Tobit 분석에서는 시설과 운영을 분리하는 수직적 분리와 화물과 여객을 분리하는 수평적 분리가 효율성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 철도산업의 경쟁력 강화와 경영효율성을 제고하기 위한 구조개혁은 그 과정과 결과에 대한 신중한 검토 및 평가가 이루어져야 함을 시사하였다.

This study is aimed to estimate a dynamic productive efficiency by vessel of large purse seine fishery and analyze changes of them over times using a window/DEA method. In addition, based on estimation results, it aims to suggest production management implications for an viable development of fisheries. Results indicated that an annual efficiency change of large purse seine fishery was estimated at 0.77 for 2007~2008, 0.83 for 2008~2009, and 0.77 for 2009~2010, showing a decreasing trend. As returns on sales of vessels of large purse seine fishery showed a decreasing trend, the degree of efficiency of a vessel might be closely related to the fishing profitability. The Window/DEA method was used in this study to estimate the efficiencies of vessels for large purse seine fishery. This method is well known and widely used to analyze the dynamic efficiency and it can provide useful implications for management of input factors. As a limitation of this study, it was not able to provide detailed management ways to reduce inefficiencies. However, they can be investigated with data on managerial factor, human factor, distribution factors as a future study.
