Two-day course on Productivity and Efficiency Analysis Using R, May 2019, Queensland
The Centre for Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (CEPA) at the University of Queensland invites you to attend a two-day intensive course on Productivity and Efficiency Analysis Using R. The course will focus on measures of productivity and efficiency that are of practical relevance to policymakers. Unlike many courses in productivity and efficiency analysis, this course will teach participants how to measure productivity change in ways that are consistent with measurement theory. Participants will then learn how piecewise frontier models (PFMs), deterministic frontier models (DFMs) and stochastic frontier models (SFMs) can be used to explain variations in productivity. Finally, participants will get hands-on experience analyzing productivity change using R.
| Date: | Saturday 4 May – Sunday 5 May 2019 |
| Time: | 8.30am for a 9.00am start to 6.00pm |
| Location: | Room 113, Chamberlain Building (35) UQ St Lucia |
| Presenter: | Professor Chris O’Donnell |
| Cost: | $1000 (inc GST) standard fee. $600 (inc GST) full-time students. The cost includes lunches, refreshments and a copy of Professor O’Donnell’s new book, Productivity and Efficiency Analysis: An economic Approach to Measuring and Explaining Managerial Performance. |
I hope you can join us for this exciting course. Limited places are available, so you are advised to book early. Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested. Any enquiries should be directed to c.odonnell@economics.uq.edu.au.

| Course dates 04 March 2019 – 08 March 2019 |
| Lecturer Professor Peter Bogetoft |
| Place/Venue Porcelænshaven 16B, PH16B-118 |
| City Frederiksberg |
| Prerequisites | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A basic knowledge of quantitative methods and statistics is desirable, but the course will refresh the participants’ prior knowledge as we go along. The course will emphasize actual applications in research and consultancy, and will l train the use of opens source softwares like R. Participants are expected to bring their own notebooks to benefit fully from the hands-on activities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Aim | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The aim of this course is to introduce the participants to the theory and practice of performance evaluations and their usages in research, policy analyses, incentive schemes and regulation.
Specifically, the objectives are Background: Productivity and efficiency analysis is a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary field of research in economics, management sciences, and statistics. In addition to the empirical research on the magnitude, direction, and sources of productivity growth, this literature has produced quantitative methods such as data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), which have diffused beyond their traditional confinement to production settings. These tools are used in many different application areas including environment, development studies, education, finance, health care studies, natural resource management, public economics, and sports studies, among other fields. The tools and approaches of productivity analysis are equally well suited for micro-level analyses of firms and other decision-making units as well as macro-level cross-country comparisons. Integration with incentive theory, mechanism design and decision support systems makes the tools relevant also in normative applications |

This includes theoretical issues of productivity analysis, popular parametric and nonparametric methodologies, such as stochastic frontier analysis and data envelopment analysis, bootstrapping approaches and interfaces with related disciplines. We also welcome methodology and application papers concerned with the issues of measurement, understanding, incentivising and improving the performance of organisations in different sectors. We look forward to seeing you there!
