Abstract

"The aim of this study is to examine the role of Internet advertising spending in achieving advertising efficiency. The application of a Data Envelopment Analysis model to a sample from the Spanish automobile industry revealed that online advertising positively affects the overall efficiency levels. Stochastic frontier analysis using three-year panel data corroborates this finding, revealing significant positive relationships between online advertising and sales."
