This paper analyzes the technical efficiencies of 40 Korean system integration firms using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist productivity indices. Technical efficiencies on average had been decreased over the five year period and the efficiency difference between best practice firms and catch-up firms had been increased during this period, meaning that the industry structure has become matured and the possibilities for catch-up firms to be efficient are not remained so much. The differences in efficiency by the differences in ownership structures are statistically significant. It implies that the efficiencies of group-affiliated firms have come from benefits such as the captive market umbrellas, not from their own management competencies. In addition, the technical efficiency is highly correlated with captive market sales, information productivity, sales per employees, rates of value added, returns on invested capital, and EBITDA.

Seaports play a vital role in the economic development of countries, especially for countries having long coastlines such as Vietnam Seaport industry in Vietnam has witnessed an impressive development in recent years. The national cargo throughput in the period 2013-2017 achieved a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%/year, higher than that of the world (5.1%). However, the differences in planning policies and infrastructure systems has led to the differences in port performance efficiency of regional ports. Therefore, it is necessary to have a general and accurate view of the picture of Vietnam's seaport. The objective of this study was to analyze the relative efficiencies of 26 Vietnam container terminals using traditional output-oriented CCR and BCC DEA model. Malmquist P roductivity Index (MP I) was also applied to evaluate changes in container terminals productivity over time.

Cultural industry's role in national economic growth has increased gradually and drawn increasing attention due to the immense window effect on other industries. Especially, China has fully pushed forward with the development of cultural industry to sophisticate industrial structure since the 2000's. In Korea, the cultural industry has played the leading role in the national economic growth through intensive investment relatively early compared with China. Under the circumstance, this study compared the cultural industry efficiency between China and Korea to examine cultural industry's impact on economic growth and its potentials. The greatest difficulty in comparing the cultural industry efficiency between China and Korea is the development of comparable statistical data. This study chose the number of businesses and the number of employees as the input variables for efficiency analysis and the sales of cultural industry, the output variable. Also, the efficiency was comparatively analyzed through DEA-Malmquist index. Integrated DB about local governments and basic data from KOSIS were used for Korean data and the National Bureau of Statistics of China's data were used for Chinese data. The analysis period was set to 2013-2017. According to analysis, the Malmquist index for Korea was 1.048 and China, 1.041. In other words, Korea improved the efficiency by 4.8% during the analyzed period and China, 4.1%. This result can be attributed to the fact that the cultural industry in Korea was reaching maturity during this period while the cultural industry in China was entering the growth period.

The era of today's day is that the era of the black gold age is now approaching the era of the blue gold age. As the importance of water increases, support and policies for the water industry are presented. The water industry is a public service industry but it faces the problem for unbalanced supply between users. One of solutions for solving the problem at hand is the privatization of the public service and it is the most sensitive and focused subject to the issue. Korea is also coming up for the privatization of the water industry. So, one of the privatization operations based on the privatization of the current waterworks law is management contract by the specialized organization and it is in progress to enhance the efficiency of public services. Therefore, this study aims at finding out the local water supply services' efficiency by K-Water using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis), and productivity analysis by malmquist index on 18 organizations of the implementation of local water supply management contract using the date from 2012 to 2014. According to the result of the DEA, 10 of the 18 organizations were the most efficient during 3 years and malmquist index for analysing the productivity was decreasing. That is because of the leakage ratio and utilization ratio of the raw water and both of them are significant to productivity. As a result, this study differs from the previous studies by analysing efficiency and productivity using DEA and malmquist index to the solution for the problem faced by current water industry.

This study aims to make suggestions for more effective budget utilization and R&D project investment through verification of the efficiency of research results for the government's R&D projects. Efficiency was analyzed using Data Envelope Analysis(DEA) and 'Malmquist Index analysis' for the research results of convergence research projects organized by the National Science and Technology Research Association. The analysis targets were convergence research projects organized by the National Science and Technology Research Association and general entrusted research projects by government-funded research institutes, and dynamic analysis was conducted using DEA and Malmquist Index analysis. As a result of the analysis, the convergence research project showed high efficiency from the static perspective of DEA. On the other hand, from a dynamic perspective through the Malmquist Index analysis method, the efficiency of the general consignment project gradually declined, while the efficiency of the convergence research project improved every year. This suggests that convergence studies have higher results than general studies. Through the results of this study, we intend to present objective standards for performance evaluation of government R&D investment and provide objective implications for rational investment policies and research project planning of research personnel and research funds to improve efficiency for government-funded research institutes.

The World Economic Forum has included Water-Energy-Food among the three major risk groups in the world, and Water-Energy-Food is related to the development strategies of countries and the lives of their citizens. This study calculates the combined Water-Energy-Food use efficiency in China for 2011-2020 based on the SBM-Malmquist index. The results show that the overall combined Water-Energy-Food efficiency in China is low, but shows an upward trend. There is a clear variability in the combined Water-Energy-Food utilization efficiency in China, with an overall geographic distribution pattern of East > Middle > West. Only Beijing and Shanghai have reached the real above effective nationwide, and all other provinces have inefficiency between input and output. The Malmquist index of integrated Water-Energy-Food utilization efficiency is 1.136, with an up ward trend, and technical efficiency and technological progress lead the improvement of integrated Water-Energy-Food utilization efficiency in China at the sametime. The Water-Energy-Food issue should be raised to a strategic level as soon as possible, and policy support should be provided for its development. Each region should establish a cross-regional coordinating body to formulate targeted measures according to the province's food production and water distribution, so as to promote economic transformation from sloppy development to green development as soon as possible.

In this article, we mainly use Nevanlinna theory to investigate some special difference equations of malmquist type such as $f^2+({\Delta}_cf)^2={\beta}^2$, $f^2+({\Delta}_cf)^2=R$, $f{^{\prime}^2}+({\Delta}_cf)^2=R$ and $f^2+(f(z+c))^2=R$, where ${\beta}$ is a nonzero small function of f and R is a nonzero rational function respectively. These discussions extend one related result due to C. C. Yang et al. in some sense

In this paper, we investigate some results on complex delay-differential equations of the classical Malmquist theorem. A classic illustrations of their results states us that if a complex delay equation w(t + 1) + w(t - 1) = R(t, w) with R(t, w) rational in both arguments admits (concede) a transcendental meromorphic solution of finite order, then deg_wR(t, w) ≤ 2. Development and upgrade of such results are presented in this paper. In addition, Borel exceptional zeros and poles seem to appear in special situations.
