Efficiency Snakes and Energy Ladders: A (meta-)frontier demand analysis of electricity consumption efficiency in Chinese households (2016, methodology): “Numerous studies have alluded towards the implications of such features on the consumption of energy, see for example Chen and Song (2008), Peters et al.”
Environmental technical efficiency, technology gap and shadow price of coal-fuelled power plants in China: A parametric meta-frontier analysis (2016, methodology): “…(Lee and Zhang, 2012), and container glass industry (Boyd et al., 2002), etc. 3 The method of meta-frontier analysis has been widely used in other fields, such as Lin and Du (2013) on energy efficiency, Chen and Song (2008) on agriculture, Moreira and Bravo-Ureta (2010) on dairy farms, etc.”
Technical efficiency and metatechnology ratios for dairy farms in three southern cone countries: a stochastic meta-frontier model (2010, unknown): “It appears that this approach has been applied only in three published studies and, in all cases, the MF has been found to be the valid framework to compare the groups under analysis (Battese et al. 2004; Chen and Song 2008; O’Donnell et al. 2008).”
Energy efficiency and production technology heterogeneity in China: A meta-frontier DEA approach (2013, methodology): “Therefore, we divided the 29provinces in China into three groups: east, central and west (see Chen and Song, 2008).1 Then, the respective group frontiers were determined.”
