Abstract

In the recent literature, the strategic relevance of ports has improved, and this paper provides a comparative analysis of 24 European ports. The port performance has been evaluated considering data envelopment analysis and Shephard’s distance function. This latter approach offers an alternative method to address a significant restraint of the standard Stochastic Frontier when the model needs to consider multiple outputs. From a policy point of view, the conclusion could offer valuable insights to support policy measures targeted to expand port efficiency. The findings obtained from the analysis reveal that several contextual indicators must be included in benchmark analysis.
欧洲主要港口业绩评估
在最近的文献中,港口的战略相关性得到了改善,本文对24个欧洲港口进行了比较分析。结合数据包络分析和Shephard距离函数对端口性能进行了评价。当模型需要考虑多个输出时,后一种方法提供了一种替代方法来解决标准随机前沿的重要约束。从政策的角度来看,该结论可以为支持有针对性地提高港口效率的政策措施提供有价值的见解。从分析中获得的发现表明,在基准分析中必须包含几个上下文指标。
