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.

Performance evaluation: An integrated method using data envelopment analysis and fuzzy preference relations

TL;DR: This paper proposes an integrated approach to rate decision alternatives using data envelopment analysis and preference relations, which includes three stages: pairwise efficiency scores, a priority vector, and the consistent fuzzy preference relation.

Provincial cultivated land use efficiency in China: Empirical analysis based on the SBM-DEA model with carbon emissions considered

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors took carbon emissions resulting from cultivated land use into the measurement framework of CLUE, and a slack-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs, boxplot, kernel density estimation and Tobit regression model are adopted for the analysis of 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2017.

Piecewise Loglinear Estimation of Efficient Production Surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of basic properties postulated for the underlying production possibility sets are derived from linear programming formulations for piecewise log-linear estimation of efficient production surfaces, which permits the identification of increasing marginal products, and estimation of the classical S-shaped production functions.

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.
