Note(s): *Each coefficient in this table represents the average correlation of the pairs of efficiency scores separated by k-years (k = 1, 2, …, 12) for each methodology across a 13-year period (2005–2017). Corresponding to each k-, the coefficient is reported as the mean of the (13-k) the correlation coefficients of the efficiency pairs with the interval of k-year. All correlation coefficients are significant at the 1% level
