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.

Production Efficiency of Smallholders' Vegetable-dominated Mixed Farming System in Eastern Ethiopia: A Non-Parametric Approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonparametric data envelopment analysis method was used to estimate technical, allocative and economic efficiencies and identify their determinants in smallholders' vegetable-dominated mixed farming system of eastern Ethiopia.

Risk and efficiency in East Asian banks

TL;DR: The authors used a linear programming technique (data envelopment analysis) to estimate the inefficiencies of banks in Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand and applied this technique to the pre-crisis period 1992-96.

A review of multi-criteria decision making applications for renewable energy site selection

TL;DR: The five site selection stages, criteria selection, data normalization, criteria weighting, alternative evaluation and result validation, are revealed by content analysis and it is found that different energy sources emphasize different criteria; however, some similarities exist.

A Statistical Test For Nested Radial Dea Models

TL;DR: This paper has defined a new efficiency contribution measure ECM, which finally compares the efficiency scores of the two radial DEA models differing in the candidate, and developed a statistical test that allows us to evaluate the significance of the observed efficiency contribution of the candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative analysis of DEA as a discrete alternative multiple criteria decision tool

TL;DR: The results of this study show that incorporating decision maker valuejudgments into the DEA approaches provided comparable results to those found by the ‘traditional’ MCDM ap-proaches.

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.
