Abstract:
This paper applies a two-stage nonparametric approach to compare companies operating in different business models in the global semiconductor industry. Using panel data over 1999–20XX on 470 companies in the global semiconductor industry, we explore the operating performance of the semiconductor companies conditional on capital investment and between the integrated device manufacturers and the fabless-foundry business model.
Keywords:
Capital investment; Nonparametric frontiers; Pure efficiency; Semiconductor industry; Two-stage conditional efficiency analysis
