A Critical Analysis of DEA Applications to Seaport Economic Efficiency Measurement (2009, methodology): “The DEA window analysis approach was not utilized until 2004 and was chosen by Cullinane et al. (2004), Cullinane et al. (2005), Min and Park (2005) and Rios and Maçada (2006).”
New indicators to measure port performance (2007, background): “However, ports and terminals can no longer be regarded as stand alone facilities (see for instance Cullinane et al, 2004), UNCTAD, in a classic monograph on port performance indicators (UNCTAD, 1976) discusses PPIs such as berth occupancy, revenue per ton of cargo, and capital equipment expenditure…”
Container port efficiency in emerging and more advanced markets (2010, methodology): “Cullinane et al. (2004) applied the DEA Window analysis to compare the world’s top 30 leading container ports (ranked in 2001) to adduce relative efficiency over time.”
The European Port Industry: An Analysis of its Economic Efficiency (2007, background): “These include Notteboom et al., 2000; Cullinane et al., 2002; Cullinane et al.,2003; Cullinane et al.,2004 and 2006; Rodríguez Álvarez et al. 2005; Wang and Cullinane, 2006 and Tongzon and Heng, 2006.”
The efficiency of European container ports: A cross-sectional data envelopment analysis (2006, background): “…the container port industry and the random effects associated with each single measured value of production and the level of measured efficiency associated with it, Cullinane et al. (2004a, 2005) applied a range of alternative DEA panel data approaches to deriving the efficiency of container ports.”
Efficiency Measurement in the Port Industry: A Survey of the Empirical Evidence (2009, methodology): “Cullinane et al. (2004) suggest that most ports have constant returns to scale, which indicates that the scale of production is not the main source of inefficiency.”
