1 Relave Effcency and Producvy Dynamcs of he Mealware Indusry n Hano Nguyen Khac Mnh Dau Thuy Ma and Vu Quang Dong Absrac Ths paper focuses on relave effcency and producvy dynamcs of he mealware ndusry n Hano durng he perod by usng wo mehods: daa envelopmen analyss (DEA) wh he Malmqus ndex and me-varan sochasc froner producon funcon (SFPF). Boh mehods confrmed a sgnfcan dsperson n relave effcency and producvy and a decreasng rend of he producon froner durng he sudy perod. Moreover analyss of facoral effecs on echncal effcency showed ha capal-labor rao real wage ownershp and frm age were no mporan facors whle frm sze was a sgnfcan facor ha nfluenced he effcency and producvy performance of he ndusry durng he sudy perod. Key words: effcency daa envelopmen analyss (DEA) Malmqus ndex mealware ndusry producvy sochasc froner producon funcon (SFPF) Tob regresson Venam JEL Classfcaon: C D4 L6 O47. Inroducon Evaluang he producve effcency of a frm can only be possble f he frm s performance s comparave wh ha of oher smlar frms. Such a comparson leads o a relave effcency level. Relave producve effcency was frs nroduced by Farrell (957) and was hen developed by ohers. Producvy and effcency are wo dfferen conceps. Producvy can be undersood smply n erms a frm s observed performance such as per capa produc or oupu-per-npu rao. However effcency s measured eher by he rao of he acual oupu o he maxmum oupu (oupu-based approach) or by he rao of he mnmum npu o he acual observed npu (npu-based approach). Froner producon funcons have been used o explan furher he erm relave effcency. Despe dfferences n esmaon mehods (paramerc or non-paramerc) producon funcons (sochasc or deermnsc) depend on he followng assumpons: Assumpon : All npu-oupu combnaons are under he producon possbly froner. Assumpon : Producon se s concave. Toal ransformed oupu over oal ransformed npus n he case of varous oupu and npu ypes. If m oupus ( y y... y m ) and npus ( x x... x n ) are assocaed wh her weghs of { λ } = for oupus and ( yλ ) γ for npus he producvy should be: = m (Ray 004). ( x γ ) n { } = n 7 j= j j
2 Assumpon 3: Producon se s free dsposal. Ths means ha f producon possbly hen possbly. Y * * ( x ; y );( x ; y ) and The followng are defnons of dfferen effcences. G ( x ; y ) s whn * * x x ; y y are also whn producon Defnon (Pure Techncal Effcency Oupu-based Approach): Pure echncal effcency s measured by he rao of a frm s acual oupu o he maxmum level of oupu ha frm could acheve usng s exsng echnology. Defnon (Pure Techncal Effcency Inpu-based Approach): Pure echncal effcency s measured by he rao of a frm s mnmum npu o s acual npu o produce a un of oupu. Fgure : Defnon of Effcency H D F E J I A C B O P Q R S X Fgure presens producon possbles wh npu X and oupu Y. Suppose ha fve frms are A B C D and E. The producon possbly froner goes hrough he pons P B J A D F and E. Frm C could reach maxmum oupu a F gven npu a S. Frm C s pure echncal effcency based on oupu approach s SC/SF. Is mnmum npu on oupu CS s OQ. The frm s pure echncal effcency based on npu approach s OQ/OS. If he froner s he lne OG (n he case of consan reurns o scale) OQ/OS and OC/OF are equal mplyng ha he wo approaches gve he same level of pure echncal effcency. Defnon 3 (Scale Effcency): Scale effcency of a frm s s opmal scale. The opmal scale s he consan reurns o scale. Defnon 4 (Allocave Effcency): Allocave effcency of a frm s based on s resource allocaons n erms of he relaon beween margnal npu subsuons and prces o maxmze s prof. Allocave effcency s assocaed wh npu and oupu prces 3. Because prces are no avalable n some observaons such a ype of effcency wll no be consdered. I s commonly agreed ha opmal scale s a consan reurns o scale. If markes are compeve economc prof wll be zero. If a frm has ncreasng (decreasng) reurns o scale should ncrease (decrease) s scale. 3 We assume ha oupu prce s normalzed o one relavely o npu prces. Assume ha he producon funcon s Y = F(X) where npu X = (X X. X n ) wh prce P = (P P. P n ). The necessary equaon F / X P for maxmum prof s = for all and j. F / X P j j 8
3 Agan Fgure shows ha scale effcency s un f a frm has consan reurns o scale and s on he lne OG. Scale effcency of a frm a C s SF/SG because hs frm could reach oupu SG f had consan reurns o scale bu s acual oupu s SF. Some sudes also consder congeson effcency whch descrbes a suaon ha a producon funcon s no non-decreasng wh a specfc npu. In hs paper we wll no ake hs ype of effcency no accoun and we assume ha congeson effcency s always un. The res of hs paper s srucured as follows. Secon wll provde model specfcaons n whch boh daa envelopmen analyss (DEA) and sochasc froner producon funcon (SFPF) models wll be dscussed. The esmaed resuls by hese models for he Mealware Indusry n Hano wll be analyzed n Secon 3. The las Secon concludes hs paper.. Model Specfcaons There are wo popular mehods o measure effcency and producvy: DEA and SFPF. Each mehod has some advanages and dsadvanages whch wll be dscussed laer n hs paper. In addon each mehod also depends on some assumpons whch wll also be menoned when needed. Boh mehods frs esmae he producon froner and hen evaluae echncal effcency... Daa Envelopmen Analyss (DEA) and he Malmqus Index DEA s a non-paramerc esmaon for producon froner and effcency. Ths mehod was frsly nroduced by Charnes Cooper and Rhodes (978or CCR n shor); Banker Charnes and Cooper (984or BCC n shor) laer conrbued o wh a case of varan scale. DEA models are based on hese wo early developmens wh some mproved seps o esmae he desred crera. DEA models have several common feaures. Frsly DEA s a non-paramerc esmaon mehod. I does no use any specfc funcons for producon and prof. Therefore elasces and margnal raos canno be calculaed. Secondly he mehod uses lnear programmng n esmaon process raher han he leas square mehod whch s ofen used n paramerc esmaon. DEA can herefore deal wh cases of mulple npus and oupus. Thrdly DEA esmaes under lnear programmng are no subjec o any sascal esng because hey do no brng any sascal properes. Any downward dsperson from he producon froner s regarded as neffcency. Färe and Grosskop (996) nroduced a mehod of echncal effcency esmaon assocaed wh me as follows: [ ] d ( x y ) = sup φ φ λ subjec o y Y x X or equvalenly = φ φ φ φ + λ 0; λ 0; λ 0 m () d ( x y ) sup : ( x y ) S ( x ) where S (x) ={(x y ): y f(x )}. () To esmae pure echncal effcency a consran λ = should be added. Scale effcency s hen equal o he rao of echncal effcency o pure echncal effcency. Based on DEA esmaes he Malmqus ndex of producvy whch represens decomposon of change n producvy and echnology s calculaed as follows: 9
4 + d ( X ) Y Y M ( + ) = x + d ( X ) Y Y or equvalenly where / (3) / + d ( X ) Y Y Y d ( X ) Y Y + Y + M ( + ) = x = E ( + ) T ( + ) (4) ( ) E ( + ) = represens echncal effcency change and + + Y + d ( X ) Y d ( X ) Y Y + + T ( + ) = x + + d ( X ) Y + Y + from o + for he frm. Moreover we have / represens he geomerc average of echnology + + d ( x + y + ); d ( x + y + ); d ( x y ) are as follows. [ ] + d ( x y ) sup φ + + φ λ = subjec o φ y + + Y + λ 0; x + X + λ 0; λ 0 (5) where (5) s echncal effcency a + usng daa and echnology a me +. [ ] d ( x y ) sup φ + + = φ λ subjec o y + Y x + X φ + λ 0; λ 0; λ 0 (6) where (6) s echncal effcency a usng daa and echnology a me +. + d ( x y ) = supφ λ φ subjec o φ y + Y + λ 0; x X + λ 0; λ 0 (7) where (7) s echncal effcency a + usng daa and echnology a me. DEA allows us o analyze he changes of echncal effcency pure echncal effcency echnology and oal producvy facor (or he Malmqus ndex). Addonally can also be used o analyze facoral effecs from soco-economc varables on effcency. Due o a consran ha effcency s whn [0;] Tob regresson s ofen used o decompose such effecs. Such a decomposon process s called a wo-sage process whch s somemes crczed as a based esmaon process because some varables n he frs process of effcency esmaon can affec he decomposon process. In conras some argue ha because he frs sage s non-paramerc wll no creae such bas... Sochasc Froner Producon Funcon (SFPF) SFPF s based on a known producon specfcaon. Such a funconal form can be Cobb- Douglas consan elascy of subsuon (CES) or ranslog. A common lkelhood esng s used o choose he bes funconal form among hem. Some feaures of SFPF are as follows. Frsly producon funcon has a known specfcaon and economerc echnques are used o esmae he producon funcon. Hence sascal esng can be used o examne a sgnfcan level of esmaes. Afer mplemenng some log-lkelhood esng hs paper uses a ranslog producon funcon ha generalzes CES and Cobb-Douglas. Such a funcon has a form as: 0
5 ln F( X ) = A + α ln X + β ln X ln X j j j n 4. (8) Secondly esmaed resduals are assumed o follow a specfc sascal dsrbuon. Such a dsrbuon can be normal half-normal runcaed normal Gamma or exponenal. Recen sudes have followed an dea ha he esmaed resduals conss of wo pars: sochasc resduals caused by exernal shocks (u) and neffcen resduals from he producon process (v). ln y = ln F( x ) + u v (9) Thrdly SFPF does no consder scale effcency. Effcency from SFPF s equvalen o pure echncal effcency n DEA. Measurng changes n relave effcency of he whole ndusry over me can be calculaed when me s regarded as an npu varable. In hs paper he SFPF model has one oupu (real value-added) and hree npus (average number of workers L real ne capal K and me ). The esmaon equaon s: ln y = A + α ln L + α ln K + α3 + β(ln L) + β(ln K) + β3( ) +. (0) + β (ln L)(ln K) + β (ln K)( ) + β ( )(ln L) + u v Varable wll cause changes n combnaons of K and L shfng he producon froner over me. Moreover varable allows dynamc esmaes of effcen resduals n erms of me. v Techncal effcency of a frm s equal o e. Wh he assumpons ha u follows (0 u ) N σ v follows runcaed normal dsrbuon of N ( µ σ v ) a zero and u and v are ndependen wha maers s how o decompose hese wo resduals n he esmaon process. Baese and Coell (995) argued ha aggregae resdual σ v ( u v ) had varance σ = σ u + σ v and condonal varance of v on u was γ = σ u + σ v whch represened how much he sochasc resdual could explan dynamcs n he producon froner. If γ was closer o he acual dsperson from he froner was caused manly by neffcency resdual. There s also a smlar regresson o DEA n whch he neffcency erm wll be decomposed no facoral effecs from soco-economc varables as follows: v = z δ + () w where z represens conrollable varables or soco-economc varables ha can affec echncal effcency level and w represens unconrollable varables. Recen echnques use one-sage esmaon n whch he facoral decomposon sage wll be regressed a he same me as he effcency esmaon sage. The coeffcen of δ has an oppose drecon of effec on echncal effcency.e. a negave (posve) sgn of δ means a posve (negave) effec on effcency. j j. j n 4 Cobb-Douglas producon funcon s ln F( X ) = A + α ln X. CES producon funcon n secondorder Taylor s expanson s ln F( X ) = A + α ln X + β (ln X ln X )

8 Table 3 summarzes some of he esmaed resuls for effcency under DEA and SFPF models. DEA allows us o esmae echncal effcency pure echncal effcency and scale effcency whle SFPF only esmaes pure echncal effcency. The resuls can provde some mplcaons. Frsly he esmaes from DEA and SFPF confrm a low level of average echncal effcency. Four 5-percen effcency nervals show ha almos all frms had effcency scores of less han 5 percen (n DEA) and less han 50 percen (n SFPF). Few frms fell no he hghes 5-percen nerval (.e. 75% 00%). Effcency dsrbuon mples a large dsperson of effcency among frms. Secondly he DEA resuls prove a que hgh level of scale effcency n whch mos frms scale effcency was more han 75 percen. Thrdly pure echncal effcency under DEA was lower han ha n SFPF hough boh mehods show he same dynamc rend n hs ype of effcency. Ths dfference could be explaned by a beer reamen of SFPF over sochasc resduals Changes n Effcency Technology and Producvy Boh DEA and SFPF can be employed for dynamc analyss of echnology effcency and producvy. The esmaed ranslog producon funcon under SFPF s as follows: lnva = ln L ln K (ln L ) (ln K ) + ** * * * ** * ** ** 0.3 ( ) 0.89 (ln L )(ln K ) (ln K )( ) 0.38 (ln L )( ) u v Noe: (***): Sgnfcan a level of % and 5% respecvely; = 0 3. Sgnfcan coeffcens of (lnk)() and (lnl)() clarfy he changes n capal-labor combnaon over me n whch he share of labor ncreased whle he share of capal decreased. Changes n producon echnology caused he producon froner shf.

Concludng Remarks Ths paper has produced he followng fndngs for he frms n he mealware ndusry n Hano durng Frsly relave effcency among all frms was low and revealed a sgnfcan dsperson n effcency beween hese frms. Boh daa envelopmen analyss (DEA) and sochasc froner producon funcon (SFPF) mehods confrmed hs fndng. Secondly pure echncal effcency and echncal effcency ended o ncrease n he perod and he producon froner shfed dynamcally downward hrougou he sudy perod hus reducng he oal facor of producvy. Thrdly some soco-economc varables such as ownershp wage frm age and capal-labor rao dd no srongly affec echncal effcency. The resuls of boh mehods suppored he concluson ha frm sze had a posve effec on effcency level. Based on he esmaes of boh DEA and SFPF mehods a clear pcure of effcency and dynamc changes n echnology and producvy was presened for he mealware ndusry n Hano. Boh mehods provded smlar conclusons abou effcency froner shf and facoral effecs. However hs paper would have been more complee f some exreme observaons had been repored and analyzed separaely.
