 note = {The purpose of this paper is to measure productive efficiencies when a firm employs quasi-fixed inputs that cannot be instantaneously adjusted to their optimal levels. To this end, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is extended to a dynamic framework so that investment behavior can be modelled with the efficient production frontier. Based on the work of Nemoto and Goto (1999), we show how the efficiencies of quasi-fixed inputs and their adjustment processes are evaluated. An application to Japanese electric utilities over the 1981–1995 period delivers empirically plausible results and proves the usefulness of the procedure.},
