USING DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS AND STOCHASTIC FRONTIER ANALYSIS METHODS TO EVALUATE EFFICIENCY OF HYDROELECTRICITY CENTERS

Abstract

This study clarifies efficiency scores and also ranks of hydroelectricity centers by using data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis methods. Applying copula technique in the stochastic frontier analysis is an advantage to our study between similar activities.
