Title: Introduction to efficiency analysis in R
Date: Thursday, November 17th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Olha Halytsia, PhD Economics student at the Technical University of Munich. She has a previous working experience in research within the World Bank project, also worked at the National Bank of Ukraine.
Description: In this workshop, we will cover all steps of efficiency analysis using production data. Firstly, we will introduce the notion of efficiency with a special focus on technical efficiency and briefly discuss parametric (stochastic frontier model) and non-parametric approaches to efficiency estimation (data envelopment analysis). Subsequently, with help of “Benchmarking” and “frontier” R packages, we will get estimates of technical efficiency and discuss the implications of our analysis. This workshop may be useful for beginners who are interested in working with input-output data and want to learn how R can be used for econometric production analysis.
