On the discrepancy in the social efficiency measures between parametric and non-parametric production technology identification

How to Achieve Supply Chain Sustainability Efficiently? Taming the Triple Bottom Line Split Business Cycle

“…Whereas parametric models do have advantages regarding statistical quality measures and assurance levels, they do require a detailed understanding of the production process including a specific notion for a production function form to be applied in the data analysis [61][62][63]. Non-parametric approaches on the other hand do not require in-depth knowledge and prior data regarding the specific production processes; they simply use the available real-life input and output data for an efficiency measure.…”

Sisyphus Revisited: Efficiency Developments in European Universities 2011–2016 According to Ranking and Budget Data

“…Efficiency measurement methods are structured into parametric and non-parametric techniques for application to specific research questions. While parametric models provide advantages regarding statistical quality measures and assurance levels, they also require a detailed understanding of the production process, including a specific notion for a production function form to be applied in the data analysis (Ha, Kaneko, Yamamoto, Yoshida, & Zhang, 2017;Toma, Miglietta, Zurlini, Valente, & Petrosillo, 2017). Nonparametric approaches, on the other hand, do not require in-depth knowledge and prior data regarding the specific production processes.…”

Management Of Development Efficiency Of The Russian Economy

“…Expanding machine production produced a shift in the tasks, functions and responsibilities of the engineers. Secondly, theoretical developments related to actions in general have contributed to the expansion of the concept of "effectiveness" to other areas: the general theory of effective organization of activities; effectiveness as a fundamental or initial orientation (Ha, Kaneko, Yamamoto, Yoshida & Zhang, 2017).…”
