  • Efficiency Analysis of Telecommunications Companies in Southeast Asia Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) Method
    Jurnal Siasat Bisnis Vol.23 No. 2, 2019, 104-112 Journal homepage: http://www.jurnal.uii.ac.id/jsb Efficiency analysis of telecommunications companies in Southeast Asia using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method Riko Hendrawan*, Gayuh T Permana, Kristian WA Nugroho Faculty of Economics and Business, Telkom University, Bandung, Indonesia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This study aims to analyze the efficiency of telecommunications companies and find out the variables of efficiency of telecommunications companies in Southeast Asia in the period of 2008-2017 involving 14 telecommunications operators using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis method. The results of these studies show that the telecommunications companies in Southeast Asia still had room to improve their profit efficiency scores for 0,984 – 0,689 = 0.295. Furthermore, the results show that input variables such as Personal, capex and opex have a positive effect on the value of efficiency which means that each increase in the variable Capex, Opex and Personal Expenses will have an impact in increasing the value of efficiency Whereas the total assets have negative effects on the efficiency value of telecommunications operators. Output variables consisting of revenue, subscribers and ARPU have a significant effect on the value of efficiency. These three output variables in the SFA measurement method have a positive influence on the efficiency of telecommunication operators. Inflation used as an environmental variable in measuring the efficiency of telecommunication operators shows that it does not have a significant impact on the efficiency value of telecommunications operators. Keywords: Efficiency, Southeast Asia, Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), telecommunication industry JEL Classification Code: G10, G21 DOI: 10.20885/jsb.vol23.iss2.art3 Introduction The telecommunications industry is believed to have brilliant digital prospects.

Our industry reports are the definitive guide to understanding the true experience consumers receive on wireless networks. 10 years ago, the telecommunications industry was in a very different place — back then 4G was still in its infancy and Opensignal was just starting out.

In this report we are providing a comprehensive comparison of mobile networK experience globally across five Key measures of mobile networK experience — Video Experience, Voice App Experience, Download Speed Experience, Upload Speed Experience and 4G Availability, for the very first time. As the telecoms industry is in a continual state of change we have also analyzed the degree to which the world’s operators have improved their users’ mobile networK experience over the last year. During this period operators around the world have been navigating many unforeseen challenges — not least an ever greater reliance on communications as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic — which maKes the improvements we have measured even more impressive. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, our audience, for your continued support and we looK forward to the next 10 years of providing operators, regulators, analysts and millions of consumers around the world with insights on the real world mobile networK experience as we move into the 5G era.
