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.

Separating managerial inefficiency and external conditions in data envelopment analysis

TL;DR: It is argued that the model developed by Banker and Morey does not deal appropriately with inefficient units, as producer's behaviour in this model does not reflect the objective situation faced by such DMUs.

Technical and scale efficiency of Japanese commerical banks: a non-parametric approach

TL;DR: In this article, the nature and extent and scale efficiency of Japanese commerical banks are studied and a relationship between organizational status and size efficiency is also announced, based on a 1990 sample of cross-sectional data.

Legitimately Diverse, Yet Comparable: On Synthesizing Social Inclusion Performance in the EU

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a set of separate performance indicators can be combined into a meaningful synthetic performance index without giving up on the notion of subsidiarity, and without fundamentally impairing the peer pressure incentives that constitute an important rationale for OMC.

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.
