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.

Intellectual capital performance of quoted banks on the Istanbul stock exchange market

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the intellectual capital performance of quoted banks in ISE using the efficiency coefficient, called Value Added Intellectual Coefficiency (VAICTM), and tested the effect of this Intellectual capital performance on profitability using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).

A semi-oriented radial measure for measuring the efficiency of decision making units with negative data, using DEA

TL;DR: A semi-oriented radial measure is proposed, which permits the presence of variables which can take both negative and positive values in DEA and is applied to data on a notional effluent processing system to compare the results with those yielded by two alternative methods for dealing with negative data in DEA.

DEA Malmquist productivity measure: New insights with an application to computer industry

TL;DR: This proposed new approach not only reveals patterns of productivity change and presents a new interpretation along with the managerial implication of each Malmquist component, but also identifies the strategy shifts of individual DMUs based upon isoquant changes.

Combining road safety information in a performance index

TL;DR: Of the five techniques, the weights based on data envelopment analysis resulted in the highest correlation with the road safety ranking of 21 European countries based on the number of traffic fatalities per million inhabitants, which is valuable for the development of a road safety index.

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.

Cost and production functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mathematical interpretation of the duality between cost and production function, and present a heuristic principle of minimum costs and a Cobb-Douglas production function.
