Modelling the efficiency of knowledge economies in the Asia Pacific: a DEA approach

This paper measures the performances of 12 selected Asia Pacific countries in developing knowledge-based economies (KE). The performances of the selected countries are evaluated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results indicate that four of the emerging countries (India, Indonesia, Thailan...
