Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was used to monitor and benchmark productivity in a chain of 15 hotels over a 12-month period. Quarter results were compared with each other and with standard accounting data for the same period. In this way it was possible to identify and study units which showed ano

## Abstract This paper presents new estimates of scale economies for US hospitals. We show that the common translog specification of hospital costs is a misspecification, and employ nonparametric, local linear estimation with both continuous and discrete covariates. A bootstrap method is used to pr

## Abstract This paper presents a new composite methodology for estimating efficient marginal costs of outputs. The methodology is based on multi‐criteria methods involving Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Goal Programming (GP) and Regression Analysis (RA) techniques. Firstly, DEA is used to find a
