The Efficiency of Social and Economic Image Projection in Spatial Configurations
研究了空间配置的区域形象在吸引资源方面的表现，提出社会与经济形象效率的概念，并用数据包络分析方法评估希腊北部20个州的效率。
In this paper we examine issues related to the regional images of spatial configurations and their performance in attracting resources that are expressed in terms of regional gross domestic product. The concepts of social and economic image efficiency are introduced and their dual relationship is acknowledged. A non‐parametric frontier analysis methodology is proposed for assessing the two types of efficiency, based on the concept of data envelopment analysis. The method is applied to the twenty prefectures of Northern Greece on data that span the period 1981 to 1991.
