    International Journal of Hospitality Management 29 (2010) 99–107 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect International Journal of Hospitality Management journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/ijhosman A stochastic cost efficiency analysis of international tourist hotels in Taiwan Jin-Li Hu a,*, Chia-Ning Chiu a, Hwai-Shuh Shieh b, Chia-Hui Huang a a Institute of Business and Management, National Chiao Tung University, 118, Chung-Hsiao W. 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.

YOU DON’T NEED TO HEAR, LISTEN, NOR HAVE THEM TRANSLATED IN ORDER TO FEEL THEM. The veteran detective Kuo buries deep in his heart a secret steeped in bitter regrets—though in twenty years, he has shed not one single tear. In this This story is one that is told through sign language. There are no sketch of ordinary lives, Kuo is the axis around whom the drama spins. A conventional conversations or flirting, no corny pick-up lines, and no sensual picture emerges from the gives and takes of the multitude of characters, whispering. Tian Kuo’s pursuit of Yang Yang’s love takes place in silence, exposing the burdens of one another. The day before Kuo’s 60th birthday, between dramatic hand-signs and emotions expressed purely through FESTIVAL following what appears to be a simple case of drug-use by a female student, facial expressions. The many challenges in the nature of hearing-impaired surfaces the long hidden moral ambiguity. The good and evil in the real world communication, paired with the likeable and sometimes quirky personalities do not wear fairytale costumes.

  • Lahars in and Around the Taipei Basin: Implications for the Activity of the Shanchiao Fault
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Asian Earth Sciences 31 (2007) 277–286 www.elsevier.com/locate/jaes Lahars in and around the Taipei basin: Implications for the activity of the Shanchiao fault Sheng-Rong Song a,¤, Tsu-Mo Chen a, Shuhjong Tsao b, Huei-Fen Chen c, Huan-Chi Liu b a Institute of Geosciences, National Taiwan University, Taiwan b Central Geological Survey, Ministry of Economic AVairs, Taiwan ROC c Institute of Applied Geociences, National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan Received 25 February 2004; received in revised form 14 February 2006; accepted 27 July 2006 Abstract In the last decade, more than 21 deep geological cores have been drilled in the Taipei basin to obtain a Wrmer grasp of its basic geology and engineering properties prior to the construction of new infrastructure. Thirteen of those cores contain lahar deposits, with the num- ber of layers varying from one to three and the thickness of each layer varying from several to over 100 m. Based on their occurrence, petrology and geochemistry, it has been determined that the deposits originated from the southern slope of the Tatun Volcano Group (TVG). K–Ar age dating has shown that the lower layer of lahars was deposited less than 0.4 Ma, and this is clearly correlated to outcrops in the Kauntu, Chengtzeliao and Shihtzutao areas. These Wndings may well suggest that the Taipei basin has been formed in last 0.4 Ma and that the Shanchiao normal fault commenced its activity within this period. The surface trace and the activity of the Shanchiao normal fault have also been inferred and subsequently deWned from stratigraphic data derived from these cores.
