Domain-specific

• Productive Efficiency
  • The distance between a firm's actual input-output bundle and the efficient frontier is operationalised in applied work through data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier estimation

    This sourceThe founding data envelopment analysis paper, scoring each unit's efficiency against a frontier estimated from multi-input, multi-output data; stochastic frontier estimation is not covered.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
