A multiplicative model for efficiency analysis
TLDR
In this article, the authors develop theory and algorithms for a multiplicative data envelope analysis (DEA) model employing virtual outputs and inputs as does the CCR ratio method for efficiency analysis.Abstract:
This paper develops theory and algorithms for a “multiplicative” Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model employing virtual outputs and inputs as does the CCR ratio method for efficiency analysis. The frontier production function results here are of piecewise log-linear rather than piecewise linear form.read more

Recent developments in dea : the mathematical programming approach to frontier analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the mathematical programming approach to frontier estimation known as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and examine the effect of model orientation on the efficient frontier.

Foundations of data envelopment analysis for Pareto-Koopmans efficient empirical production functions
TL;DR: The construction and analysis of Pareto-efficient frontier production functions by a new Data Envelopment Analysis method is presented in the context of new theoretical characterizations of the inherent structure and capabilities of such empirical production functions.

An application procedure for DEA
Boaz Golany,Yaakov Roll +1 more
TL;DR: A systematic application procedure of the DEA methodology in its various stages is suggested, focused on the selection of 'decision making units' (DMUs) to enter the analysis as well as the choice and screening of factors.

Data envelopment analysis: The evolution of the state of the art (1978–1995)
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to briefly trace the evolution of DEA from the initial publication by Charnes et al. (1978b) to the current state of the art (SOA).

Review of ranking methods in the data envelopment analysis context
TL;DR: No one methodology can be prescribed here as the complete solution to the question of ranking, as each technique is useful in a specialist area.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

Evaluating Program and Managerial Efficiency: An Application of Data Envelopment Analysis to Program Follow Through
TL;DR: A model for measuring the efficiency of Decision Making Units =DMU's is presented, along with related methods of implementation and interpretation, and suggests the additional possibility of new approaches obtained from PFT-NFT combinations which may be superior to either of them alone.

Management Science Relations for Evaluation and Management Accountability
TL;DR: A new mathematical programming model for deriving analytic representations of extremal frontiers or envelopes from empirical data and for measuring the efficiency of not-for-profit entities is devoted.
