What explains the performance of students in a heterogeneous environment? Conditional efficiency estimation with continuous and discrete environmental variables (2013, methodology): “3 This section is based on earlier literature on the conditional efficiency estimation (see e.g. Daraio and Simar, 2007), but is essential to understand extensions proposed in Section III.”
The efficiency of Italian secondary schools and the potential role of competition: a data envelopment analysis using OECD-PISA2006 data (2013, positive): “The bootstrap procedure can be briefly summarized in the following steps – for more details, see also Daraio and Simar (2007): ● For each observed output–input vector (yi, xi), the estimates of efficiency scores are computed, using the traditional DEA approach; ● then, using the bootstrap…”

Efficiency in education: a review of literature and a way forward (2017, positive): “Some suggested methodologies as orderm (from Cazals et al, 2002; Daraio and Simar, 2005, 2007a, b) or order-alpha (from Daraio and Simar, 2006; Daouia and 353 4 Journal of the Operational Research Society Vol. 68, No. 4 Simar, 2007) mitigate the influence of measurement errors by resampling the…”
How to measure the impact of environmental factors in a nonparametric production model (2012, methodology): “So, due the dimensionality of the problem (3 inputs, 4 outputs, and 3 environmental factors) with the limited sample used here (322 units), we first reduce the dimension in the input × output space by using the methodology suggested in Daraio and Simar (2007a).”
Unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity in nonparametric frontier estimation (2016, background): “As explained in detail in Daraio and Simar (2005, 2007), the nonparametric regression of these ratios on the values V̂i and Zi is helpful to see if this latent variable has no effect or a favorable/unfavorable effect on the frontier of possibilities.”
Collaboration Intensity and Regional Innovation Efficiency in Germany—A Conditional Efficiency Approach (2012, methodology): “Conditional efficiency analyses have therefore been developed (Daraio and Simar, 2007).”
