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.

Do technological innovations promote urban green development?—A spatial econometric analysis of 105 cities in China

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper used the spatial autoregressive model to determine whether technological innovations promote or impede the enhancement of urban eco-efficiency in China and reveal regional and administrative-level differences in terms of the effects of technological innovations.

Production trade-offs and weight restrictions in data envelopment analysis

TL;DR: ‘technology thinking’ could be used instead of ‘value thinking” in the construction of weight restrictions, which offers real practical advantages in the models under constant and variable returns-to-scale assumptions.

Testing the accuracy of DEA for measuring efficiency in education under endogeneity

TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of DEA in the presence of endogeneity and measurement error in a flexible multi-output multi-input translog context was evaluated. But, their experiment was conducted considering a one-output framework, constant returns to scale and a simple Cobb-Douglas specification.

Book

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.
