Therefore, the objective of this paper is to measure the efficiency scores of 7 seaports in Tunisia by applying the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) with Cobb-Douglas production function and Data envelopment analysis (DEA) with CCR and BCC models. The annual data collected cover the 2007-2017 period for each port. Thus, the sample size for the analysis comprises a total of 77 observations. The empirical result shows that the total average scores of operating efficiency scores were DEA-BCC (0.746)&gt;SFACD (0.536)&gt;DEA-CCR (0.334) from 2007 to 2017. Given these results, the port of Gabes can be considered as the best efficient port in the 3 models (DEA-BCC, DEACCR and SFA-CD).</dc:description><dc:date>2018</dc:date><dc:date>2024-08-22 11:32:41</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>90081</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 656.61:005.52</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 134364163</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.2478/jlst-2018-0011</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 2232-4968</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
