Abstract: Starting from the existing output-oriented plant capacity measure, this paper proposes a new input-oriented plant capacity measure. Furthermore, we empirically illustrate both input-oriented and output-oriented decompositions of technical efficiency integrating these technical concepts of capacity utilization. In particular, we pay attention to the impact of convexity of the technology on both input-oriented and output-oriented plant capacity measures.
