Efficiency drivers in the Brazilian trucking industry: a longitudinal study from 2002-2010

Peter F. Wanke

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the issue of efficiency in the Brazilian motor carrier industry, which has undergone significant transformations since the economy deregulation in the mid-1990s. The main research objective is to determine whether or not different types of cargoes and geographic regions serviced significantly impact trucking managerial efficiency levels. Design/methodology/approach – Research objectiv… Show more

“…), the technique has been widely employed to assess the efficiency of DMUs within the transportation sector (e.g., Mejza and Corsi ; Scheraga ; Weber and Weber ; Ha et al. ; Rogers and Weber ; Wanke ; Min and Ahn ). We select DEA because it is suited to estimate technical efficiency of DMUs in multiple‐input, multiple‐output production settings (Coelli et al.…”

“…The use of panel data within the DEA framework is beneficial since it permits the statistical interpretation of efficiency scores (Simar 1992). Since the introduction of DEA to the business logistics literature (see Clarke and Gourdin 1991;Kleinsorge et al 1991), the technique has been widely employed to assess the efficiency of DMUs within the transportation sector (e.g., Mejza and Corsi 1999;Scheraga 2004;Weber and Weber 2004;Ha et al 2010;Rogers and Weber 2011;Wanke 2014;Min and Ahn 2017). We select DEA because it is suited to estimate technical efficiency of DMUs in multiple-input, multiple-output production settings (Coelli et al 2005;Chen et al 2015).…”

“…Recently, Marchet et al (2016) linked efficiency gains to innovation parameters through a DEA applied to the Italian 3PL market. Similarly Wanke et al (2014) and Wanke (2014) focus on the trucking industry demonstrating similar patterns in terms of efficiency determinants.…”

“…On completion of this project, the strategic position of Hong Kong as a port of Southern China was enhanced [19]. Another attempt is the study of the Brazilian motor carrier industry for evaluating the impact of different types of cargoes and geographic regions serviced on trucking managerial efficiency levels [20]. A systematic review of the literature on the design of global production and distribution networks is due to work of Olhager et al [21].…”
