When it comes to container port efficiency, are all developing regions equal? (2016, background): “…2000 Cullinane and Song (2003) Korean and UK container terminals 1979–1996 Cullinane, Song, and Gray (2002) Major container ports in Asia 1989–1998 Estache et al (2002) Mexican ports 1996–1999 Coto-Millán et al (2000) Spanish ports 1985–1989 Notteboom et al (2000) European container…”
Granting and Renegotiating Infrastructure Concessions: Doing it Right (2004, background): “…have evaluated the performance of those infrastructure reform programs and showed significant improvements, but they also point out problems and perhaps fuel perceptions (for a review of the theory see Coelli and others 2003, and for illustrations see Estache, Gonzalez, and Trujillo 2002a, b).”
Reforms and infrastructure efficiency in Spain's container ports (2005, background): “…relying on stochastic frontiers, four studies estimate a production frontier to calculate technical efficiency (Liu, 1995, Notteboom et al., 2000; Estache et al., 2002 and Cullinane et al., 2002) and three others (Díaz, 2003; Coto et al., 2000; Baños et al., 1999) quantify the economic…”
Have Spanish port sector reforms during the last two decades been successful? A cost frontier approach (2010, background): “Among others Estache et al (2002) for Mexico, Barros (2003) for Portugal and Trujillo and Tovar (2007) for European Union There are also papers which analyze changes in port productivity after port reforms, Martin (2002) for Spain and Estache et al (2004) for Mexico are examples.”
Sources of efficiency gains in port reform: a DEA decomposition of a Malmquist TFP index for Mexico (2004, background): “Banos et al (1999), Coto et (2000) and Estache et al (2002) all estimated port efficiency in Spain for the first 2 and in Mexico for the 3 rd paper through a stochastic frontier the overall efficiency gains achieved through reform but did not look into the composition of the changes”

Efficiency Measurement in the Port Industry: A Survey of the Empirical Evidence (2009, background): “The objective of Estache et al. (2002) is to show the utility of efficiency measures in promoting a yardstick competition system. Using the same sample, Estache et al. (2004) seek to identify the sources of the productivity gains, decomposing the change of TFP into its main components.”
