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.

Interval efficiency measures in data envelopment analysis with imprecise data

TL;DR: A pair of two-level mathematical programming models are constructed, whose objective values represent the lower bound and upper bound of the efficiency scores, respectively, based on the concept of productive efficiency and the application of a variable substitution technique.

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.
