The steady growth of seaborne trade has resulted in the further development of container ships, ports, and container terminals, and the operating efficiency of a container terminal is a decisive element for its competitive ability in international markets. The aim of this research is to evaluate the relative efficiency of Russian and South Korean container terminals. For this purpose, the output-oriented DEA was applied to 31 container terminals of Russian and South Korean seaports for the years from 2012 to 2014. The results indicate that Korean container terminals exhibited higher efficiency scores than their Russian counterparts.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the management performance and production efficiency of strawberry farmers who introduced smart farming, one of the primary symbols of the fourth industrial revolution in the agricultural sector. Methods: We conducted an empirical survey of strawberry farms using smart farming and analyzed production efficiency using DEA method. Results: First, difficulties for strawberry farmers introducing smart farming included time and money spent on parts replacement and additional costs due to compatibility problems with existing facilities after the adoption. Second, strawberry farmers using smart farming increased their total income by producing higher yield and improving quality thanks to the competent growth management. Third, the analysis of production efficiencies before and after smart farming found improvement in technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency. But, the gaps in technical and scale efficiencies among the farms widened. Conclusion: Based on the results above, following policy suggestions are offered. First, an environment control technology suitable for strawberry farming needs to be developed. Second, the smart farming technology needs to be standardized by the government. Third, new smart farm models need to be developed to accommodate to the facilities and environment in Korea through collecting big data including high-quality data on the environment, growth, and yield. Fourth, continuing education needs to be provided to narrow the gap in smart farming technology among strawberry farmers.

In this study, the efficiencies for both the angular aligned and unaligned positions of the receiver and transmitter coils of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are examined. Some parameters of the equivalent circuit were calculated with Maxwell 3D software. The analytical solution of the circuit was calculated in MATLAB program through the composition of the system's mathematical modeling. The numerical solution of the system, however, was calculated using PSIM, which is circuit simulation software. In addition, with the use of the finite element method (FEM) in Maxwell 3D software, transient analysis of the three-dimensional system was performed. The efficiency of the system was estimated through the calculation of input and output power. The results demonstrated that power was efficiently transmitted to a certain extent in aligned and unaligned positions. The results also revealed that, for aligned positions, high efficiency with air gaps of 15-20 cm can be obtained and that the efficiency quickly dropped with air gaps of more than 20 cm. For spatially unaligned positions, it was observed that wireless power transfer could be realized with high efficiency with air gaps of up to 10 cm and that efficiency quickly dropped with air gaps of more than 10 cm.

The effect of technological innovation on the high-quality development of the producer services industry depends on whether or not technical innovation efficiency plays a key role. This study looks at the impact of technological innovation and financial technology (fintech) on the development of high-quality producer services in Fujian Province from 2010 to 2019. The efficiency of technological innovation is measured using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist productivity index. The mean overall innovation efficiency score is 0.639, meaning that Fujian accounts for 36.1% of resource utilization inefficiencies and that there are significant differences in technological innovation efficiency between cities. The findings show that high-quality producer services industries benefited from innovation efficiency, but that the influence of technological innovation efficiency is insignificant. This demonstrates that financial innovation has not been able to completely enhance the development level of the producer services industry. This may be due to the unreasonable output structure of technological innovation and the low industrial transformation rate of technological achievements. This study advocates that the R&D fund allocation structure be optimized. That technological innovation can improve the high-quality development of the producer services industry is a consensus within the academic community.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the production efficiencies of the Korean aquaculture fishery with respect to species and methods using a Data Envelopment Analysis. The study extracted the 8 fishes in each of the sea cage culture, aquarium basin, and enclosed aquaculture for the analytical purposes. First, the study estimated the technical, pure technical, and scale efficiencies of the total of 24 aquaculture fishes based on the traditional DEA under the assumptions of both CRS and VRS. 2 fishes were identified as the efficient DMUs under the CCR-model, and 6 fishes under the BCC-model. Second, we tested to see if there was any difference in production efficiencies regarding those three different methods of aquaculture. we could not find any evidence of the differences in efficiency using a rank sum test based on the traditional DEA. However, we could do find that the pure technical efficiency in the sea cage culture was lower than others at 1% level of significance and the pure technical efficiency in enclosed aquaculture was also lower than others at 5% level of significance using Bilateral-DEA, which could explicitly consider the heterogeneity in the 3 production methods of aquaculture. Finally, the study obtained the 95% confidence intervals of the efficiency scores for the 24 fishes under our study using the smoothed bootstraping method in the process of the re-sampling in cooperation with both a kernel density estimation and a reflection method. At the same time, we could estimate the bias-corrected efficiency scores while the traditionally estimated efficiency scores suffered from the biases in the process of solving a linear programming with the deterministic nature of a production frontier. And hence, we could distinguish the differences in production efficiencies of the 8 fishes with respect to those 3 methods of aquaculture.

본 연구에서는 생산 기술적 측면에서 개별 사업체의 투입요소 효율성을 제고함에 따라 절약할 수 있는 전력 사용량 및 이에 따른 온실가스 감축 잠재량을 추정하였다. 이를 위하여 자료포락분석기법(DEA)를 이용하여 제조업체의 투입요소 기술적 효율성을 추정하고 이를 토대로 온실가스 저감량을 추정하였다. 2008년도 제조업체 평균 기술적 효율성은 규모에 대한 보수(Returns to Scale) 가정에 따라 0.467-0.643으로 추정되었다. 이를 토대로 제조업의 전력사용 효율성을 개선함에 따른 온실가스 절감가능량은 전력 사용에 따라 발생하는 총 온실가스 발생량의 17.1-25.5%에 해당하는 양으로 추정되었다. 우리 정부가 2020년까지 온실가스를 BAU 대비 30% 가량 감축하기로 발표하였는데 본 연구에서처럼 제조업체 투입요소의 기술적 효율성을 제고함으로써 이러한 정부 정책 실현을 가시화할 수 있을 것이다.

본연구는 2019~2021년 14개 국적 외항 컨테이너 선사의 생산성 변화를 MPI(Malmquist Productivity Index)를 통해 분석하였다. 분석 기간 14개 선사의 MPI는 연평균 38.4% 증가한 것으로 분석되었다. MPI 변화 원인을 살펴보면, TCI(Technical Change Index)는 연평균 58.3% 증가하였으나 TECI(Technical Efficiency Change Index)는 연평균 12.6% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 선박의 효율성 또는 선대 규모 확대 효과보다는 운임상승에 의한 생산성 향상이 주원인임을 의미한다. 원양 해운선사인 HMM과 SM상선은 타 선사(아시아 역내 선사)와 달리 TECI와 TCI가 모두 생산성 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 아시아 역내 선사의 경우 TCI(i.e. 운임상승) 값의 증가에 의한 생산성 향상이며, TECI값 중 SECI(Scale Effieicency Change Index) 값이 낮아 이들 선사는 선대 규모(규모의 경제) 변경에 따른 비용 절감 효과를 거의 누리지 못한 것으로 분석되었다.
