This is the ninth occasion for this summer school. The maximum number of participants is 20. The summer school consists of two weeks which can be taken independently. Please forward this to interested colleagues. Alfons Oude Lansink THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT: STATIC & DYNAMIC ANALYSIS Summer School for PhDs and Postdocs, 2 weeks Week 1: 8 - 12 July 2019 Parametric Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (Subal Kumbhakar and Chris Parmeter) The first week uses Stochastic Frontier Analysis and semi-parametric techniques to measure efficiency and productivity by letting the data span the frontier to establish best practice. This approach coupled with the microeconomic theory of the firm provides firm-specific measurements of efficiency and best practice role models for improving performance. Week 2: 15- 19 July 2019 DEA and Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (Spiro Stefanou, Alfons Oude Lansink) The second week introduces the students into Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the dynamic perspective to measuring efficiency and productivity. DEA is a nonparametric technique for measuring efficiency and productivity. The technique does not require distributional assumptions on the efficiency term and is a flexible approach that can be applied to many situations. Dynamic efficiency and productivity analysis is a relatively new approach that has found a more wide application the economics literature. The approach explicitly accounts for the role of adjustment costs in investments.
