Download Regional Labour Market Matching Functions and Efficiency Analysis Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Stochastic production frontiers are used for estimating regional matching functions where unemployment outflow is 'produced' by the unemployed and vacancies. The frontier is estimated using regional panel data from Finland from 1988 to 1997 and the Battese and Coelli frontier model, where the explanatory factors are included in the inefficiency term. The stochastic frontier matching function has constant returns, whereas in OLS estimation with fixed effects the returns are slightly increasing. Unemployment and vacancies in neighbouring regions have a spillover effect on efficiency. Excess job reallocation in a region deteriorates matching efficiency. The decomposition of total factor productivity change in matching to efficiency change and change in matching technology is also investigated by interpreting the matching frontier as a distance function and using Malmquist indexes. There is a downward trend in the technology, but short-term variations are dominated by cyclical changes in efficiency.

Download Estimating Regional Matching Efficiency in the Indian Labor Market Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
We analyze state-level matching efficiency in the Indian labor market using stochastic frontier analysis. The key contribution of this research is the estimation of matching efficiency at the state level because the estimates can be used for a state-level measure of labor market conditions. Next, we explore the relation between estimated matching efficiency and population density (or labor market flexibility. The results show that matching efficiency is heterogeneous across states with considerable variation in accordance with the regional diversity in India. However, we find that there is no relationship between the estimated matching efficiency and the well-known labor market conditions of interest. The correlations are either close to zero or not statistically significant, suggesting that other regional diversity may affect mathching efficiency in India.

Download The European Labour Market Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book brings together up-to-date findings on the regional dimensions of European labour markets. It provides a conceptual and empirical study of the interactions between the European economy and its regions, paying particular attention to the issue of the transition of Central and Eastern European countries to a market economy. The topics analysed include: the structure of the shocks affecting employment (regional, industrial, national), the relationships between labour market efficiency and the regional distribution of unemployment, wage flexibility in EU member countries or in their regions and the role of active labour market policies in affecting the regional distribution of employment and unemployment.

The purpose of this dissertation is to apply stochastic frontier analysis methodology to the study of efficiency and productivity in industry and in education. It is comprised of three separate studies employing stochastic frontier analysis. First, stochastic frontier analysis is used to study technical efficiency in Indian industry and its impact on India's recent economic growth. The Indian economy has sustained a consistently high rate of growth since initiating economic reforms in the early 1990's. This encouraging growth episode has the rest of the world watching their economic progress closely. This study examines the role of industrial productivity and efficiency in the post reform Indian economy by using the stochastic frontier production function model over the period 1998 through 2004. We find that industry in India has moved closer to the production frontier and the gap between the states with the highest and lowest technical efficiency in industry has narrowed across time. Most of the growth in industrial output is attributed to total factor productivity. As Indian industry approaches the production frontier, growth will necessarily require further technological innovation and/or increasing input resources. In the second study, efficiency of public education in Illinois is estimated. Public education in the United States has received a great deal of attention from both constituents and policy makers alike over the past thirty years. Identifying less efficient school districts and examining the sources of inefficiency has important policy implications. School districts might improve efficiency by managing educational resources differently. In this study, we estimate technical efficiency for all three types of school districts in the state of Illinois K-12 public education system. Technical efficiency in the Illinois school system averaged 90% for unit school districts, 85% for elementary school districts, and 82% for high school districts. Possible factors associated with inefficiency in Illinois school districts are also investigated. The percentage of student enrollment that qualifies as low income and the size of the school district are positively related to inefficiency. School districts that have a larger percentage of teachers with advanced degrees are more efficient. Having a lower ratio of students per administrator in a school district increases technical efficiency. The final study analyzes efficiency among schools within a particular school district. Efficiency of public high schools in the City of Chicago School District is estimated. Technical efficiency of Chicago public high schools averaged 72%. We also investigate possible factors associated with inefficiency. The percentage of student enrollment that is chronically truant, mobility rate, and percentage of nonwhite students are all positively related to inefficiency. Schools with higher parental involvement are more efficient. Larger high schools display greater technical efficiency than smaller high schools.

This book is an easy-to-understand guide to modeling productivity and efficiency using modern statistical tools. It introduces readers to the fundamentals of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and gradually takes them to the forefront of academic research in this area, examining the latest concepts and methods related to the use of copulas in SFA. Following a comprehensive review of classic methodology, Professor Artem Prokhorov covers topics in panel data modeling, in endogeneity in SFA, in joint modeling of technical and allocative inefficiency, and in optimal and robust prediction of inefficiency scores. This is done using copulas to capture various kinds of statistical dependence that have been previously ignored when modeling production. The classic and advanced topics are illustrated using practical examples and codes written in modern programming languages. As an important example, the book spells out the case where both the values of output and the ratio of inputs used in production are optimized simultaneously. Such simultaneity, if ignored, leads to biased estimates of productivity and returns-to-scale and may understate inefficiency. The book offers a useful reference for those interested in the newest robust methods of business analytics in the area of productivity and efficiency, with implications for strategy, budgeting, resourcing and benchmarking of firms, industries and production units more generally.
