• Public sector efficiency: evidence for new EU member states and emerging markets (2010, background): “(2002) and Thanassoulis ( 2001 ) offer introductions to DEA, while Simar and Wilson ( 2003 ) and Murillo-Zamorano ( 2004 ) are good references for an overview of frontier techniques.”
• Performance in European higher education: A non‐parametric production frontier approach (2005, methodology): “In particular, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a linear programming approach widely used to investigate the efficiency of converting multiple inputs into multiple outputs and when one lacks a clear functional relationship between inputs and outputs (Cooper et al., 2004; Murillo-Zamorano, 2004).”
• The Econometric Approach to Efficiency Analysis (2008, background): “Several parts of the earlier literature predate Wang and Schmidt (2002). Kumbhakaret al.”
• Application of Panel Data Models in Benchmarking Analysis of the Electricity Distribution Sector (2006, unknown): “9 See for instance, Shuttlewoth (2003) and Irastorza (2003). follows: Section 2 discusses the application of stochastic frontier models in panel data.”
• Productive efficiency and regulatory reform: The case of vehicle inspection services (2006, methodology): “(5) For a more detailed explanation of this technique and a review of some of its applications, see Murillo-Zamorano (2004) .”
• Measuring efficiency, effectiveness and performance of Indian public sector banks (2009, unknown): “CCR model imposes three restriction on the frontier technology: constant returns-to-scale, convexity of the set of feasible input-output combinations, and strong disposability of inputs and outputs ( Murillo-Zamorano, 2004”
• Quantitative studies of water and sanitation utilities: a benchmarking literature survey (2011, unknown): “Murillo-Zamorano (2004), Coelli et al. (2005), Lovell (1993) and Fried et al. (2008a) all divide cost and production function studies into parametric and non-parametric, whether or not they use a functional form specification for efficiency estimation7.”
• Review on Parametric and Nonparametric Methods of Efficiency Analysis (2018, methodology): “In addition, the choice of estimation method has been an issue of debate, with some researchers preferring the parametric and others the non-parametric approach [1,7].”
