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.

Quality-Driven Query Answering for Integrated Information Systems

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and therefore expensive and expensive process of planning and executing quality-driven queries.

Benchmarking and incentive regulation of quality of service: an application to the UK electricity distribution networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a quality-incorporated benchmarking study of the electricity distribution utilities in the UK between 1991/92 and 1998/99 and calculate technical efficiency of the utilities using Data Envelopment Analysis technique and productivity change over time using qualityincorporated Malmquist indices, they find that cost-efficient firms do not necessarily exhibit high service quality and that efficiency scores of cost-only models do not show high correlation with those of quality-based models.

Efficiency measurement for parallel production systems

TL;DR: A parallel DEA model is developed which takes the operation of individual components into account in calculating the efficiency of the system, and the efficiency calculated is smaller than that calculated from the conventional DEA model.

Two-stage evaluation of bank branch efficiency using data envelopment analysis

TL;DR: A two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis approach is developed for simultaneously benchmarking the performance of operating units along different dimensions and a modified Slacks-Based Measure model is applied for the first time to aggregate the obtained efficiency scores from stage one and generate a composite performance index for each unit.

Chapter 5 Duality, classification and slacks in DEA

TL;DR: Seven theorems are presented which expand understanding of the theoretical structure of the Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes (CCR) model of Data Envelopment Analysis, especially with respect to slacks and the underlying structure of facets and faces, and are a basis for new algorithms which will provide optimal primal and dual solutions.

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.
