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.

Central limit theorems for conditional efficiency measures and tests of the ‘separability’ condition in non-parametric, two-stage models of production

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the standard central limit theorem (CLT) results do not hold for means of nonparametric, conditional efficiency estimators, and provide new CLTs that permit applied researchers to make valid inference about mean conditional efficiency or to compare mean efficiency across groups of producers.

International comparison of industrial CO2 emission trends and the energy efficiency paradox utilizing production-based decomposition

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of both production technical efficiency and technological change on CO2 emissions was investigated and the relative degree of each country's energy efficiency paradox phenomenon can be identified empirically.

Measuring efficiency and productivity growth in Japanese banking: a nonparametrie frontier approach

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the nature and extent of efficiency and productivity growth in Japanese banking by using nonparametric frontier techniques which allow for technical inefficiency and technological progress/regress.

Data envelopment analysis with natural negative outputs and inputs

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified slacks-based measure (MSBM) model is presented, in which both negative outputs and negative inputs occur, and the MSBM model takes into account individual input and output slacks, which provides more precise evaluation of inefficient decision-making units (DMUs).

Effect of public subsidies on farm technical efficiency: a meta-analysis of empirical results

Abstract: Investigating the impact of public subsidies on farm technical efficiency is becoming a critical issue in applied agricultural policy analysis. This article presents a meta-analysis of empirical results on this issue, based on data gathered from a systematic literature review. We find that, in the empirical literature, subsidies are commonly negatively associated with farm technical efficiency. Meta-regression estimation results show that the direction (significantly negative, significantly positive or non-significant) of the observed effects is sensitive to the way subsidies are modelled in the empirical studies.

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.
