    Natural Resources Exchange Traded Funds: Performance Appraisal using DEA Modeling
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2011) Tsolas, I. E.
    The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of a sample of natural resources exchange traded funds (ETFs) by applying a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, the generalized proportional distance function (GPDF) in the data envelopment analysis (DEA) context is used for the first time to measure the relative efficiency of sectoral ETFs. In the second stage, a Tobit model is employed to identify the drivers of performance. The results indicate there is scope for efficiency improvement for about half or more of the sample funds depending on the variables used in the assessments, and fund performance can be explained by fund persistence and the beta coefficient.
