Stochastic Scale Elasticity
摘要
To analyze the performance of entities, several economic concepts such as “economies of scale” (returns-to-scale, RTS) and “marginal rates of technical substitution” have been used in the literature. In this chapter, we focus on determining and measuring RTS in quantitative form (referred to as scale elasticity). Accordingly, this chapter provides a detailed study of stochastic scale elasticity in DEA.
