Abstract

This study comprehensively compares three efficiency measurement methods—chance-constrained data envelopment analysis (CCDEA), stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data (StoNED), and the bootstrap method—in the context of the cultural regeneration performance of cities. The research examines these methods’ methodological differences, advantages, and disadvantages with a focus on uncertainty handling, production function assumptions, and computational requirements. The analysis reveals that CCDEA and the bootstrap method yield similar efficiency scores, while StoNED tends to produce lower efficiency scores. Furthermore, regions exhibit higher value-creation efficiency of cultural and creative industry than operational management efficiency, thus highlighting the untapped potential for improving value creation in cultural regeneration projects. This comprehensive comparison enables researchers and practitioners to further understand the nuances among these methods and select the most suitable method for their specific needs and objectives when evaluating the performance of cultural regeneration projects or other applications.
