TLDR
In this article, the authors present a review of data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods for peer decision-making units (DMUs) and show that all the existing approaches can be categorized as using either Stackelberg (leader-follower) or cooperative game concepts.Abstract:
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). An important area of development in recent years has been devoted to applications wherein DMUs represent two-stage or network processes. One particular subset of such processes is those in which all the outputs from the first stage are the only inputs to the second stage. The current paper reviews these models and establishes relations among various approaches. We show that all the existing approaches can be categorized as using either Stackelberg (leader-follower), or cooperative game concepts. Future perspectives and challenges are discussed.read more

Does China's higher education investment play a role in industrial growth?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors divided the process through which China's higher education investment turned into industrial economic growth between 2014 and 2017 into higher education transformation division, knowledge innovation division, and innovation commercialization division, then applied a Network Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model to evaluate the efficiency of the process, and finally uses the individual fixed effect model to analyze its influencing factors.

Do Commercial Banks Benefited From the Belt and Road Initiative? A Three-Stage DEA-Tobit-NN Analysis
TL;DR: A three-stage model employing DEA to evaluate efficiency, a Tobit regression model to identify the determinants, and a neural network to improve those determinants to enhance the performance of DMUs is presented.

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.
