A stochastic cost efficiency analysis of international tourist hotels in Taiwan (2010, methodology): “The advantages of SFA are a well-developed statistical test to identify the effectiveness of the model description and its ability to decompose the deviations from efficiency levels into noise and pure inefficiency (Barros, 2004). Only a few previous studies on Taiwan’s hotel industry (e.g., Tsaur, ”
MEASURING EFFICIENCY IN THE HOTEL SECTOR (2005, unknown): “– Barros (2004) Cobb-Douglas Cost Frontier 43 Enatur hotels (1) sales; (2) nights occupied; (3) a dummy (historical vs. regional). operational cost (1) price of labor; (2) price of capital; (3) price of food.”
The Measurement of Efficiency in Portuguese Hotels Using Data Envelopment Analysis (2006, methodology): “In addition, Barros (2004) analyzed the same 42 Enatur hotels from 1999 to 2001, this time with a stochastic Cobb-Douglas frontier model.”
Modelling the Performance of Australian Hotels: A DEA Double Bootstrap Approach (2011, methodology): “oriented and achieve stronger economies of scale than smaller and medium-sized hotels (see Barros and Dieke, 2008). The coefficient of the location variable is also found to impact positively on the technical efficiency of Australian hotels. This finding is consistent with the study by Barros (2006)”
Hotel performance: state of the art (2010, background): “The oligopolist features of the market (Barros, 2004; Chung, 2000) have made the search for efficiency “become essential not only for profitability, but also for a hotel’s survival” (Chen C.”
RevPAR determinants of individual hotels: Evidences from Milan (2011, background): “with a strong focus on the themes of strategy (Ingram, 1996; Ingram and Baum, 1997a), marketing (Kim and Kim, 2005) and production (Sigala, 2004; Barros, 2004).”
Assessment of Tourism Competitiveness by Analysing Destination Efficiency (2008, unknown): “For other applications on efficiency measure at micro level in the tourism field, see Banker and Riley (1994); Bell and Morey (1995); Anderson et al (1999b); Barros (2004, 2005); and Barros and Mascarenhas (2005).”
