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.

Using DEA as a tool for MCDM: some remarks

TL;DR: In this paper, the equivalence between the concept of "efficiency" in DEA and that of "convex efficiency" in MCDM is discussed. But, the proposed techniques that have been proposed in the DEA literature to deal with MCCM problems violate simple normative properties that are commonly accepted.

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.
