Abstract(s)
This study develops a framework that combines different methods
to provide insights regarding the performance of retailing stores.
Firstly, the framework enables to specify appropriate targets for
stores using DEA. This involves comparing stores within homogeneous
groups. Secondly, the framework compares the overall
performance of these groups. This requires the combined use of
Malmquist type index and statistical tests. This index is decomposed
into components for comparing the efficiency spread between
groups and the productivity differences between the best-practice
frontiers of the groups.
