Measuring the efficiency of decision making units

TLDR
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.

A fuzzy mathematical programming approach to the assessment of efficiency with DEA models

TL;DR: This work develops some fuzzy versions of the classical DEA models by using some ranking methods based on the comparison of α-cuts, and shows, in a numerical example, how these models become specially useful for detecting sensitive decision-making units.

Theory of cost and production functions

TL;DR: In this article, a unified treatment of cost and production functions underlie the economic theory of production is presented, and the duality between cost function and production function is developed by introducing a cost correspondence, showing that these two functions are given in terms of each other by dual minimum problems.
