Normalization Ridge Regression in Practice II: The Estimation of Multiple Feedback Linkages.

Bulcock, J. W. – 1981

The use of the two-stage least squares (2 SLS) procedure for estimating nonrecursive social science models is often impractical when multiple feedback linkages are required. This is because 2 SLS is extremely sensitive to multicollinearity. The standard statistical solution to the multicollinearity problem is a biased, variance reduced procedure…

Efficiency Differences of Finnish Senior Secondary Schools: An Application of DEA and Tobit Analysis.

Peer reviewed

Kirjavainen, Tanja; Loikkanen, Heikki A. – Economics of Education Review, 1998

Studied efficiency differences in Finnish senior secondary schools by Data Envelopment Analysis, using four variant models. Average efficiencies in the most extensive models were 82% to 84%. Considering parents' educational level increased average efficiency to 91%. Tobit analysis showed school size did not affect efficiency. Input and output…
