A Method for Measuring the Efficiency Gap between Average and Best Practice Energy Use
A common feature distinguishing between parametric/statistical models and engineering economics models is that engineering models explicitly represent best practice technologies, whereas parametric/statistical models are typically based on average practice. Measures of energy intensity based on average practice are of little use in corporate management of energy use or for public policy goal setting. In the context of companyor plant‐level indica…
Factor Intensity and Site Geology as Determinants of Returns to Scale in Coal Mining
Increasing returns to scale (RTS) is frequently pos- tulated as affecting productivity in surface coal mining. How- ever, it is not clear whether increased capital intensity or increased output is the relevant phenomenon. A ray-homo- thetic production function that incorporates the capital-labor mix and fixed site geology into the scale elasticity is presented and estimated with a micro (mine level) dataset. The results indicate that higher capit…
