Using data envelopment analysis, this paper annually estimates Malmquist total factor productivity indices and decomposes them into productive efficiency change, technical change, and scale change components for three publicly-owned rail transit properties: the Seoul Subway Corporation(SSC), the Seoul Metropolitan Electrified Railways Sector of Korea National Railroad (SMESRS) and the Busan Urban Transit Authority (BUTA). The paper then conceptualizes that the property produces a single output(car-kilometers) using four inputs(labor, electricity, car and maintenance, and track) and uses unbalanced panel data consisted of annual observations on SSC, SMESRS and BUTA. The results show that the average annual growth rate of productivity of the three properties is 6.6 percent, which is 0.5 percent less than the average annual increasing rate of their labor price. They also show that the greatest part of the growth in productivity is explained by technical change and to a lesser degree by scale change and changes in productive efficiency though each of the three components contributes more than 20 percent to the growth in productivity, These results suggest that the three properties should base the increasing rate of their wages on the growth rate of their productivity and utilize existing technologies more efficiently prior to introducing new ones to raise their productivity, and that all the three components should be considered to evaluate their productivity more correctly.

The need for analysis of the operational efficiency and productivity of the Busan Port Container Terminal is increasing because of the Hanjin Shipping's bankruptcy and the re-establishment of the Maritime Alliance. This paper analyzes the efficiency and productivity of five Busan New Port Container Terminal companies by using the DEA analysis and Malmquist productivity index model based on the port construction disclosure data and the collected terminal internal data. According to the analysis, the average efficiency of the five container terminals increased in 2018 but declined slightly in 2019, and the Malmquist index showed that all terminals except A have advanced productivity. Additionally, relative to facility productivity, operators at the North Container Terminal had higher facility productivity than operators at the Busan New Port Nam Container Terminal, and regarding capital productivity, the D terminal ported by HMM, a national shipping company, was the highest in facility productivity. Regarding labor productivity, the C terminal showed the highest productivity, and regarding ship work productivity, the A terminal showed the highest productivity.

This study analyzed the index change in efficiency and productivity for the tax reorganization project of the regional headquarters of Korea Asset Management Corporation using panel data for 3 years from 2017 to 2019 using the DEA-Malmquist analysis model. According to the DEA analysis result, the average of the efficiency by the CCR model of the regional headquarters tax reorganization project of the Korea Asset Management Corporation was 0.671 in 2017, 0.772 in 2018, and 0.699 in 2019, and the average of the efficiency by the BCC model was 0.798 in 2017, 0.851 in 2018 and 0.771 in 2019. As a result of analyzing the Malmquist productivity index, the time series average productivity index MPI increased by 4.5%. These results appear to be attributable to the increase in technological efficiency, technological change, and scale-efficiency change rather than the decrease in net efficiency change. Looking at the change in MPI by year, it decreased by 14.6% in 2017-2018, but increased significantly to 27.8% in 2018-2019. Through the results of DEA analysis of specific tax projects of public corporations, each regional headquarters of Korea Asset Management Corporation will be able to contribute to reinforcing business capabilities through mutual benchmarking.

Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) is an operations research-based method for measuring the performance efficiency of decision units that are characterized by multiple inputs and outputs. DEA has been applied successfully as a performance evaluation tool in many fields. However, it has not been extensively applied in the shipbuilding industry. This paper applied the input-oriented DEA model, and Malmquist indices to the 7 shipbuilding firms to measure the efficiency and productivity changes during the period of 2004 to 2009. The Malmquist indices will be decomposed into three components such as pure efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and technical change. The empirical results show the following findings. First, the DEA findings indicate that main source of inefficiency is scale rather than pure technical. Second, the Malmquist indices show that an overall decrease in productivity.

This study purposed to analyze the productivity of regional medical capacity in attracting medical tourist between 2009 and 2011. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Malmquist productivity index (MPI) were applied to test the productivity and changes in study periods. The DEA model included a number of doctors, nurses, and beds as input factors, and a number of inpatient and outpatient, and hospital income as output factors. The result of the study were as follow. Jeju had efficiency value of 1 for three years. Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Ulsan, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Jeonnam, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam showed an increasing trend of efficiency value over three years. Seoul had the efficiency value, 1, in 2011. But, Incheon, Gwangju showed decreasing efficiency score during the study period. MPI showed overall productivity decrease during the period. Further studies will be needed by collecting more time-series data.

In this paper, we investigate the finite order transcendental meromorphic solutions of complex difference equation of Malmquist type $$\prod_{i=1}^{n}f(z+c_i)=R(z,f)$$, where $c_1,{\ldots},c_n{\in}\mathbb{C}{\backslash}\{0\}$, and R(z, f) is an irreducible rational function in f(z) with meromorphic coefficients. We obtain some results on deficiencies of the solutions. Using these results, we prove that the growth order of the finite order solution f(z) is 1, if f(z) has Borel exceptional values $a({\in}\mathbb{C})$ and ${\infty}$. Moreover, we give the forms of f(z).

본 논문에서 DEA 방법과 Malmquist 지수를 이용하여 중국의 이동통신서비스 사업자들의 상대적 효율성을 분석하고 있다. 중국의 이동통신서비스시장은 급성장하고 있으며 특히 2008년의 합병을 통한 구고조정은 시장의 새로운 환경을 제공하고 있다. 이러한 구조조정을 배경으로 본 연구는 2002년-2012년을 분석기간으로 설정하여 합병 전과 합병 후의 상대적 효율성을 비교하고 있다. 투입변수는 총자산, 종업원 수, 자본투입을 포함하고 있으며 산출변수는 영업총수입과 순이윤을 포함하고 있다. 분석 결과에 의하면 2002년-2012년 기간 동안 평균 효율성은 개선되지 못하고 있으나 합병 후인 2009년-2012년 기간에는 이동통신서비스 사업자들의 평균 효율성은 개선되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

항만 배후단지는 항만과의 연계된 네트워크로 점점 중요해지는 가운데 다국적으로 앞 다투어 고부가 가치 창출을 위한 다양한 법과 제도를 마련하고 있다. 유럽, 아시아, 북미 등 여러 국가에서 배후단지 활성화를 위한 투자와 발전을 위해 노력하고 있으며 이에 한국도 제3차 항만배후단지개발 종합계획을 통해 단계적 변화의 움직임을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DEA(Data envelopment analysis)와 Malmquist 분석을 통해 한국의 주요 항만배후단지의 생산성과 효율성을 파악하였다. 분석결과 부산 신항 북컨, 광양항 서측배후단지는 효율성이 높고 부산 신항 운동, 광양 동측 배후단지 및 아암 1단지는 효율성이 낮게 나타났다. 연구 분석을 통해 향후 항만 배후단지의 경영 환경 및 수익성이 개선되어야한다는 점을 시사한다.

The efficiency of port operations is an important indicator of port development. Moreover, there is excess handling capacity in Chinese ports, which results in a slower speed of development. Under the detrimental environment of the international shipping market, it is necessary to improve the operation efficiency of ports for long-term development. This paper provides an assessment of the competitiveness of Chinese seaport companies using the Boston Consulting Group's matrix, and efficiency measurements using a data envelopment analysis and the Malmquist method. This analysis showed that highly efficient companies reformed their development strategies, which should be a solution considered by less efficient companies, such as Shenzhen Yan Tian Port Holdings Co., Ltd.. Although, having high throughput should be reformed in the investment structure. This research will assist port companies in gaining effective operating experience, and governments in establishing strategic planning to enhance the efficiency of port development.
