This study uses Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) to investigate the management efficiency of Korean shipping companies based on business administration costs such as corporate entertainment, advertisement, and labor costs. We analyze shipping enterprises listed on the Korean stock market of the period of 2010-2014. Corporate entertainment, advertisement and labor costs are used as input variables and sales and net income are used as output variables. We use technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, scale efficiency and returns to scale to propose a plan to improve the efficiency of inefficiency decision-making units (DMUs). The results of the efficiency analysis show that six of the DMUs in the technical efficiency of CCR model and eight of the DMUs in the pure technical efficiency of BCC model are in efficient state. In terms of return to scale, six of the DMUs(24% of all DMUs) show increasing returns to scale, while 13 DMUs(52% of all DMUs) showdecreasing returns to scale. Because multiple efficient state for DMUs exist in the technical efficiency analysis, we conduct a super efficiency analysis. The results show that the efficient state of the twomost efficient DMUs are 1.314 and 1.243, respectively. This implies that these DMUs could maintain their current levels of the efficiency if they increase the amount spent on advertisements, corporate entertainment and labor costs by 31.4% and 24.3%. respectively. We conclude this study by providing the efficiency states of each DMU and target for improving the inefficiencies in each case.

본 연구에서는 유류오염토양 세척유출수내 미세토사의 효율적 제거를 위한 최적의 방안 및 적용 운전 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 응집제를 주입하지 않은 blank 실험결과, 광운대학교 토양 세척유출수는 pH 7～12의 범위에서 65～75%의 효율을 나타내었고, 우이천 하천퇴적 토양 세척유출수는 pH 7～11의 범위에서 30% 안팎의, pH 12에서는 70% 정도의 낮은 효율을 나타내었다. pH 13에서는 두 가지 세척유출수에서 각각 91%, 85%의 효율을 나타내었다. 응집ㆍ침전 실험 결과, 광운대학교 토양 세척유출수는 FeC13, alum, PAC을 적용하였을 때 대체로 99% 이상의 효율을 보였으나, PAM을 적용하였을 때는 pH 13에서만 약 95%의 효율을 보였을 뿐 pH 7～12의 범위에서는 50～70%의 낮은 효율을 보였다. 우이천 하천퇴적 토양 세척유출수는 alum과 PAC을 적용하였을 때 대체로 90% 이상의 효율을 나타내었으나, FeC13와 PAM을 적용하였을 때는 pH 13일 경우에서만 98%이상의 효율을 보였을 뿐 다른 pH조건에서는 대체로 60%이하의 효율을 보였다. 두 가지 세척유출수에 대하여 높은 효율을 보인 alum과 PAC의 경제성을 비교해본 결과 같은 양의 세척유출수를 응집처리 할 경우 PAC에 비하여 alum을 적용하였을 때 적은 비용이 소요되었다. 따라서 alum이 효율성과 경제성에서 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of the paper is to estimate the functions of the energy input efficiency and the energy intensity efficiency, and measure their energy efficiencies for the reduction of greenhouse gases focusing on OECD countries. The efficiency of the traditional energy intensity was rarely connected with the energy efficiencies of the stochastic frontier function. It seems that the energy efficiency by the function of energy input efficiency sensitively responds to the order of GDP, capital stock, labor, and energy input quantity as explanatory variables. In the future, we need to reduce energy quantities by the optimal mix of inputs, and pursuit low-carbon economic growth through the production of the goods consuming small energy.

Thermodynamic analysis is conducted on the first-order approximation model for turbines and compressors. It is shown that the adiabatic efficiency could be greater than unity, depending on the entropic mean temperature, entropy generation, thermal reservoir temperature, and heat transfer. Therefore, adiabatic efficiency applied to a diabatic control volume results in an error overestimating its performance. To resolve this overestimation, it is suggested that a reversible diabatic process be referred to as an ideal process to evaluate diabatic efficiency. The diabatic efficiency suggested in this work is proven to always be less than unity and it is smaller than the exergy efficiency in most cases. The diabatic efficiency could be used as a more general definition of efficiency, which would include adiabatic efficiency.

On the basis of a Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA), this paper analyses revenue efficiencies for the same sample of Korean and Japanese railways in the papers which analyze cost efficiencies using a generalized translog functional form. The paper also compares the results of revenue efficiencies with cost efficiencies and evaluates the effects of managerial autonomy and privatization on the firm-specific efficiencies. The results show that the average estimate of revenue inefficiency is 7.02% when the term of inefficiency is assumed to be distributed as a half-normal and 6.98% as a exponential for the total sample. Also, standardized inefficiencies in revenues (7.5%) are greater than those in costs (2.1%). JR East and JR West are found to be most efficient on the revenue side and on the cost side respectively while JNR and JR Kyushu are worst efficient on the both sides. Finally, the correlations between efficiencies in revenues and costs also between efficiencies and privatization are positively correlated. The results suggest that the most independent companies, with increased managerial autonomy via privatization, are the most efficient in both revenues and costs.

This paper is to measure and ealuates the technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency with three inputs and two outputs with the use of DEA(data envelopment analysis) in Korean RCC(Rescue Co-ordination Center/RSC(Rescue Sub-Center). Several conclusion emerge. first the average efficiency of overall technical efficiency measure about $91.03\%$ and pure technical efficiency $96.80\%$ is much large then scale efficiency $93.83\%$. It means that inefficiency has much more to do whit the inefficient utilization of resources rather then the scale of production. second, DRS(decreasing return to scale) is Tongyeong and IRS(increasing return to scale) is Incheon, Taean, Gunsan, Yeosu, Ulsan, Donghae in RCC/RSC. finally, inefficiency RCC/RSC. have to benchmarking with reference sets.

This paper analyzes the technical efficiencies of 38 Korean engineering and construction firms and the efficiency changes from 1999 to 2003 using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Best practice firms in terms of technical efficiency and profit are identified. For inefficient firms, performance targets to be efficient are suggested. Technical efficiencies had been increased over the five year period, and the efficiency difference between firms had been reduced during this period. The differences in efficiency due to the differences in cooperate governance structures are statistically significant. In addition, the technical efficiency is correlated with product portfolios, degree of subcontract, rates of value added, returns on invested capital, and EBITDA.

벼 담수 관개 조직에 대한 효율 계산에 있어서 입력은 관개수량과 총 강우량이고 출력은 증발수 및 급유유실의 합이 된다. 그러나 최근에는 입력을 관개수량으로 출력은 증발수 및 급유유실로 부터 유교 우량을 뺀 값으로 정의하고 있다. 비록 후자의 방법이 전자보다는 실제 논 조건에 부합된 계산방법이기는 하지만 아직도 허용침수심 유지에 필요한 관개수량, 각종 생육기에서의 침수심의 변화, 분배방법에 따른 침수심의 차이 등이 고려되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 벼 관개효율 계산의 단순화가 포장관개효율의 정도와 적정도의 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 검사하고 그러한 효과의 크기와 성질을 다음과 같이 2단계로 조사하였다. 첫째, 논에서의 일별물수지조건을 기본으로 하여 관개효율 계산모형이 개발되었으며 이전 효율계산에서 생략된 모든 요인이 고려되었다. 둘째, 개발된 모형을 이용하여 포장관개효율을 계산하고 그 결과를 재래방법으로 계산된 값들과 비교하였다. 본 연구는 아직까지 불충분한 것으로 간주되어 왔던 논 관개조직의 포장관개효율에 대한 몇 가지 흥미 있는 의제를 밝힌 것으로 기본 자료는 1985년 반월관개지구에서 수집된 것을 이용하였다. 1. 계산모형은 포괄적인 것으로 어떤 지방의 수집자료라도 적용할 수 있다. 모형의 계산결과를 볼 때 관개효율과 소비수량 사이에 접근된 경향을 보여줌으로써 모형개발에 잘 충족시켜주고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 2. 모형에서의 계산시간간극은 제한적이지는 않지만 중요하며, 비교분석이 관련된 경우에는 주의하여 문제를 선택해야 한다. 계산결과를 보면 짧은 시간간격이 관개효율이 아주 크거나 작은 기간을 더 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 논의 포장관개효율을 계산함에 있어서 각 관개기의 초기 침수량과 허용 침수심을 무시한 효율계산은 큰 오차를 나타냈다. 반월관개지구에서 주간 포장관개효율은 -58%~16%로 오차범위가 관측되었다. 4. 논의 침수량 및 허용 침수량을 고려한 것과 고려하지 않은 것 사이의 상이성이나 유의적인 관계는 없었다. 그러나 연구 결과에 의하면 전자의 방법이 효율 측정에 있어서 더 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 개발된 모형은 논 관개의 물리적 측면과 관리목표 모두를 고려한 것으로 계산된 효율은 벼, 생육 각 단계에서의 효율 비교에 양호한 방법임을 알 수 있다.

This study measures the managerial efficiency of Korea's 14 public enterprises using bootstrap DEA in 2013. In addition, it examines the factors that affect on the bootstrap bias-corrected efficiency using truncated regression analysis. The results and implications of this study are as follows. First, using bootstrap DEA model analysis, the results showed that the mean technical efficiency was 0.3182, the mean pure technical efficiency was 0.4994 and the mean scale efficiency was 0.6585. The main cause of technical inefficiency was due to pure technical inefficiency. Second, rank test between technical efficiency of general DEA model and bootstrap DEA model was no significant difference under CRS and VRS assumption. Third, the main cause of the inefficiency in 11 DMUs among 14 DMUs were mainly due to the pure technology and three DMUs were because of the scale efficiency. Finally, in the truncated regression analysis, cost of labor, profit, sales, return of equity, and the number of employees appeared as factors affecting the scale efficiency at the 10% significance level.
