Measuring Cost and Revenue Efficiencies of Rail Transport by Data Envelopment Analysis / 以資料包絡分析法評估鐵路運輸成本與營收效率

碩士 / 明道大學 / 產業創新與經營學系碩士班 / 100 / When measuring performance for rail transport, most previous studies paid attention only to technical efficiency by using physical input and output data such as the number of employees, number of cars, etc. In this study we adopts data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate both cost efficiency and revenue efficiency for some selected 20 railways over 2007 to 2009. We choose the number of cars, the number of employees, and their prices as inputs, and select passenger-kilometers, ton-kilometers and their prices as outputs. The results show that the average cost efficiency and revenue efficiency are 0.499 and 0.389, respectively. Based on the results, a performance matrix is established in which each railway’s cost and revenue efficiencies are indicated. Finally, strategies for ameliorating the operation of less cost efficiency and/or less revenue efficiency railways are proposed.
