Productivity and Efficiency Measurement of Airlines - Data Envelopment Analysis using R (Paperback)

Productivity and Efficiency Measurement of Airlines: Data Development Analysis using R identifies and explains the best strategies for measuring airline performance. Each chapter measures airline performance through the model of data envelopment analysis (DEA), as well as other models, such as the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), where applicable. The book thoroughly discusses topics such as financial performance, greenhouse gas management, and complex airline data analysis, employing appropriate models for each. Model methodologies are also discussed, making this in-depth coverage useful for all audiences, including students with a basic understanding of models, researchers and airline operators and management. Users will find codes for various data software that will help them generate results and quantify efficient practices. These results provide airline decision-makers with the essential information they need to create better policies and avoid underperforming practices.
