...Odette Delfin Purpose This paper introduces a revenue efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model with weight restrictions and variable returns to scale, designed to evaluate the efficiency of 38 ports in the Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region. Design/methodology/approach...

... on Chinese port efficiency has typically centered on port-level analysis, not terminal level. Therefore, this study aims to examine the operation efficiency of Chinese container terminals. Design/methodology/approach This study uses super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (SE-DEA) approach. SE-DEA...

..., technical efficiency change and scale efficiency change to help port authorities to devise operational strategies. Design/methodology/approach The Malmquist index method is used, which is derived from data envelopment analysis. In this model, technological improvement comes from using state-of-the-art...

...’ judgements were used to evaluate the ports’ records regarding the qualitative factors. Finally, the results of grey-cloud clustering were used to classify ports as homeports and ports of call. Mediterranean Data envelopment analysis Ordinal regression Cruise Homeport As the literature review...
