The efficiency analysis of the life insurance industry in China : based on the DEA method

Deng, Yinglu 06 January 2011 (has links)
The life insurance industry in China has developed rapidly at nearly average 30% annual growth rate in premium, since the reform in 1980. The enterprise property, the industry organization and the market size have significantly changed in the last two decades, which can be observed through the four representative categories of companies constituted in different period, including the state-owned enterprises, the large domestic enterprises, the medium domestic enterprises and the joint ventures. How to evaluate the efficiency that the companies make use of the resource and contribute to the economy? How to make possible adjustment for each type of companies to improve the efficiency? In this paper we estimate and compare the efficiency of these four categories, according to the two main roles of the life insurance, (1) risk pooling, risk sharing and risk allocation (2) premium collecting, reinvesting for the high rate of return. We use the DEA method, a popular method for analyzing efficiency in management science, to solve the problem. The method replicates the input and output of the unit company by all the other companies in the industry to establish the ideal efficiency frontier, and ranks the real efficiency of each unit company according to the ideal efficiency frontier. In the empirical test, we attain the evaluation of efficiency for each category of companies. We can make appropriate input & output adjustment to them by the ranking of the efficiency. Based on the theoretical results, we provide some practical approaches, including the scale, expense and investment improvement, to promote efficiency of the life insurance industry in China. / text

Η Bootstrap σαν μέσο αντιμετώπισης του θορύβου της DEA

Γιαννακόπουλος, Βασίλειος 03 May 2010 (has links)
Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται την μελέτη της μεθόδου Bootstrap στα πλαίσια συμπλήρωσης των ελλείψεων της DEA, κατά τον υπολογισμό της τεχνικής αποτελεσματικότητας διαφόρων μονάδων λήψης αποφάσεων. Πιο συγκεκριμένα θα μελετηθεί η Bootstrap ως μέσο για τον υπολογισμό της μεροληψίας, και διαστημάτων εμπιστοσύνης των efficiency scores που προκύπτουν από την χρήση της DEA. Όπως θα φανεί, η DEA, ως μία εφαρμογή του γραμμικού προγραμματισμού, αποτελεί μία μη παραμετρική μέθοδο υπολογισμού της τεχνικής αποτελεσματικότητας και χαρακτηρίζεται από το μειονέκτημα της έλλειψης στατιστικών μεγεθών καθώς και την αδυναμία να ξεχωρίσει τον θόρυβο από την αναποτελεσματικότητα. Η Bootstrap από την άλλη, αποτελεί μία επαναληπτική εφαρμογή της DEA, η οποία καλείται να δώσει λύση στα παραπάνω προβλήματα. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής είναι να ελέγξει τον βαθμό στον οποίο η Bootstrap καταφέρνει να εκπληρώσει αυτή την αποστολή. Για το σκοπό αυτό χρησιμοποιούνται πραγματικά δεδομένα που αφορούν ιχθυοκαλλιέργειες που δραστηριοποιούνται στην ελληνική επικράτεια, ενώ οι υπολογισμοί γίνονται μέσω των προγραμμάτων DEAP και PIM – DEA v2.0. / The present diplomatic essay treats the study of Bootstrap method within the bounds of completion of DEA deficiencies during the estimation of technical efficiency of several decision-making units. More precisely it will be scrutinized bootstrap as a mean of estimating biasness and the confidence intervals of the efficiency scores, which arise from the use of DEA. As it will be come clear, DEA as an implementation of linear programming, constitutes a non-parametric method of estimating technical efficiency and is characterized by the drawback of non-distinguishing the noise by the inefficiency. On the other hand, bootstrap constitutes a repetitive implementation of DEA, which is assigned to give a solution to the above questions. The purpose of this essay is to verify the degree in which bootstrap completes this mission. For this reason there are used real data, which concern fish farms that are placed in Greek territory while, the calculations are executed through the programs DEAP and PIM – DEA V2.0

L'apport des ressources, capacités et capacités dynamiques à la performance / The contribution of resources, capabilities and dynnamic capabilities to performance

Garrab, Mehdi 05 December 2014 (has links)
Dans cette thèse nous avons tenté d’expliquer la performance des entreprises en se basant sur l’approche basée sur les ressources (RBV) et l’approche basée sur les capacités dynamiques (DCV),deux approches relevant de la théorie des ressources qui gagneraient à être intégrées. Pour aborder la problématique, nous avons développé deux axes de recherche : « La détention des ressources/capacités et la Performance » et « La gestion des ressources/capacités et la Performance ». Le premier modèle conceptuel a présenté les relations liant les différentes capacités opérationnelles à la performance. Le modèle conceptuel global a traité de la relation « Capacités opérationnelles – Environnement -Stratégie de diversification - Capacités dynamiques- Performance ». Notre posture épistémologique dans cette recherche se voulait positiviste. Au niveau des choix méthodologiques nous avons opté pour une démarche hypothético-déductive avec une approche quantitative basée sur des données secondaires collectées de la base de données française DIANE et des statistiques de l’INSEE, et pour évaluer les capacités nous avons eu recours à la méthode DEA. La première étude empirique a testé la relation capacités opérationnelles-performance sur quatre échantillons mono-sectoriels représentatifs de l’industrie manufacturière française : le secteur pharmaceutique, le secteur automobile, le secteur de la chimie et le secteur de l’habillement. La seconde étude empirique a testé le modèle mettant en relation les capacités opérationnelles, les capacités dynamiques, l’environnement et la diversification,sur la base d’un échantillon plurisectoriel regroupant les quatre secteurs. Les résultats ont permis de découvrir en premier lieu, l’importance de la capacité financière pour tous les secteurs, en deuxième lieu, le rôle modérateur de l’environnement et de la diversification et en troisième lieu l‘importance des capacités dynamiques d’apprentissage (d’absorption) et adaptative dans l’explication de la performance. Ces résultats peuvent servir les décisions managériales et l'action publique. / In this thesis we have tried to explain business performance based on the resource-based View (RBV) and the Dynamic capabilities View (DCV), two approaches within the resource-based theory (RBT)that benefits from being integrated. To address the problem, we have developed two main stream of research: "The detention of resources / capabilities and performance" and "The management of resources / capabilities and performance." The first conceptual model presented the relations linking the various operational capabilities to performance. The global conceptual model has focused the relation “Ordinary capabilities – Environment – Diversification strategy- Dynamic capabilities –Performance”. Our epistemological position in this research wished to be positivist. At the methodological level we opted for a hypothetical-deductive approach with a quantitative approach based on secondary data collected from the French database DIANE and INSEE statistics, and to evaluate capabilities we used the DEA method. The first empirical study that aims on “ordinary capabilities – performance” link, is based on four industries samples representing the French manufacturing industry: the pharmaceutical industry, the automotive industry, the chemical industry and the clothing industry. The second study tested the empirical model linking ordinary capabilities,dynamic capabilities, environment and diversification, based on a multisectorial sample comprising the four sectors. The results revealed first the importance of financial capability for all sectors, second the moderating role of the environment and the diversification and thirdly the magnitudes of dynamic learning (absorption) and adaptive capabilities in explaining performance. These results could serve managerial decisions and public policy.
