| Abstract |
|
|
|
|
This paper
presents a metafrontier production function and investigates factors
that affect textile and apparel supply chain operations for firms
operating under different technologies and ownership structures.
Results show variability in efficiency scores. In addition, we find
supply chain operations shift the production function and enhance
technical efficiency. |
