本文提出了一个原始的文章,解释了管理心理如何影响运输公司的效率。随机前沿分析方法应用于我们的样本在12年期间,从2000年到2011年,我们的目标是检测行为经济学和金融理论中的一个有据可查的偏见的潜在影响:管理乐观偏见。我们发起了一场关于首席执行官(CEO)的非理性在解释公共交通运营商的低效率,如最优生产函数和观察到的生产水平之间的差距的潜在作用的辩论。我们发现了强有力的证据表明,首席执行官的乐观偏见对运输企业的技术效率的负面影响,这意味着管理者的乐观降低运输企业的技术效率。
This paper presents an original essay that explains how managerial psychology affects the efficiency of transport firms. Stochastic frontier analysis methods are applied to our sample over a 12-year period from 2000 to 2011, where we aim to detect the potential effect of a well-documented bias in behavioral economic and finance theory: the managerial optimism bias. We initiate a debate concerning the potential role of Chief Executive Officers’ (CEO) irrationalities in explaining the inefficiency of public transport operators, such as the shortfall between the optimal production function and the observed production level. We find strong evidence of the negative impact of CEOs’ optimism bias on transport firms’ technical efficiency, meaning that managerial optimism decreases transport firms’ technical efficiency.
