Rd., Sec. 1, Taipei City 100, Taiwan b Department of Management Science, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The one-stage stochastic frontier approach (SFA) is used in this study to simultaneously estimate cost International tourist hotel efficiency scores and factors of cost inefficiency for 66 international tourist hotels in Taiwan during Cost efficiency 1997–2006. An SFA model with three outputs and three inputs is defined. The three outputs are room Stochastic frontier revenue, food and beverage revenue, and other operation revenue while the three inputs are price of Panel data labor, price of other operation, and price of food and beverage. This model also takes into account five Time-varying efficiency environmental variables, including dummy variable of the hotels located in non-metropolitan area, dummy variable of chain hotels, the number of tourist guides, the minimum distance from each hotel to Taoyuan international airport and the minimum distance from each hotel to Kaohsiung international airport. Empirical results show that international tourist hotels in Taiwan are on average operating at 91.15% cost efficiency. All nominal variables are transformed into real variables in 1997 prices by GDP deflators. Chain systems, tourist guides, and international transportation can significantly improve the cost efficiency of international tourist hotels in Taiwan.
