Benchmarking container port technical efficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean : a stochastic frontier analysis (English)

This paper presents a technical efficiency analysis of container ports in Latin America and the Caribbean using an input-oriented stochastic frontier model. A 10-year panel is employed with data on container throughput, port terminal area, length of berths, and number of cranes available in 67 ports.
