Energy efficiency in the European Union: What can be learned from the joint application of directional distance functions and slacks-based measures?
Elsevier (2014-11-01)Over the last few years concerns have increased about the energy mix in many countries. These concerns have been of greater magnitude for countries with a common energy regulation such as European Union (EU) member states. ... -
Evaluating cost efficiency in local governments' provision of public goods and services: applications to the Spanish case
Universitat Jaume I (2017-06-30)The present thesis project considers the multidimensional evaluation of different aspects related to the cost efficiency of local governments in Spain, using non-parametric frontier analysis methods. In doing so, the ... -
Governing scarcity: water markets, equity and efficiency in pre-1950s eastern Spain
Igitur Publishing (2011-08)It is usually taken for granted that the existence of water markets allows economic efficiency gains to be achieved at the expense of equity losses. This paper addresses the issue by analysing the functioning of the ... -
