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.

Resource-Use Efficiency in Public Schools: A Study of Connecticut Data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine Data Envelopment Analysis DEA with regression modelling to estimate relative efficiency in the public school districts of Connecticut, and find that while productivity of school inputs varies considerably across districts this can be attributed to differences in the socio-economic background of the communities served.

From market fixing to market-creating: a new framework for innovation policy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider four key issues that arise from a market-creating framework for policy: decision-making on the direction of change; the nature of (public and private) organizations that can welcome the underlying uncertainty and discovery process; evaluation of mission-oriented and market-creation policies; and the ways in which both risks and rewards can be shared so that smart growth can also result in inclusive growth.

Designing and Evaluating Sustainable Logistics Networks

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for the design and evaluation of sustainable logistic networks, in which profitability and environmental impacts are balanced, is presented, and the expected computational difficulties of using the MOP approach in the design of sustainable networks, and a technique, based on the commonalities between data envelopment analysis (DEA) and MOP, is introduced to evaluate the efficiency of existing logistic network.

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.
