| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 會計研究所 === 94 === This research aims to explore the operating efficiency of domestic airports of various classes. Through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), we derived a set of relative efficiency values, which are analyzed for the implied meanings and how the variables affect the management of airports to pinpoint the direction and scale of improvements.
Results of this research showed that Class A airports have the best performances in overall efficiency, technical efficiency, and scale efficiency. Class B airports have poor performances in technical efficiency and Class C airports perform poorly in overall efficiency as well as scale efficiency. Therefore, generally, Class B airports need adjustments to their input and output for better technical efficiency, and Class D airports should cut back their operation scales for better overall and scale efficiency.
Compared to previous researches, this study is the first attempt to evaluate and rank the relative efficiency of airports of five different classes in Taiwan. This research used slack variable analysis to provide suggestions for improvements in input and output, and through sensitivity analysis, this research pinpoints the key aspects of improvements for either overall or technical efficiency. In addition, results of this research also provides to relevant administrations as a reference for aims to achieve optimum resource utilization and minimum input with maximum output.
