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.

Two-stage innovation efficiency of new energy enterprises in China: A non-radial DEA approach

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider activities related to innovation during two stages of growth experienced by new energy enterprises: the research and development (RD wind energy enterprises are the most efficient in RD and solar energy enterprises lag behind the others in RD innovation in most enterprises can be generally considered "extensive and inefficient".

Green economic efficiency and its influencing factors in China from 2008 to 2017: Based on the super-SBM model with undesirable outputs and spatial Dubin model

TL;DR: The results showed that the overall GEE in China during the study period was at a low level with significant regional differences, and the inter-regional GEE generally showed a gradient decreasing pattern of "East-Middle-West", which demonstrates a gradual decline from the East to the West in China.

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.
