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.

Network DEA: A slacks-based measure approach

TL;DR: A slacks-based network DEA model is proposed, called Network SBM, that can deal with intermediate products formally and evaluate divisional efficiencies along with the overall efficiency of decision making units (DMUs).

Applied data envelopment analysis

TL;DR: Data envelopment analysis is a linear programming based technique for measuring the relative performance of organisational units where the presence of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparison difficult.

Maximum likelihood, consistency and data envelopment analysis: a statistical foundation

Rajiv D. Banker
- 01 Oct 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a formal statistical basis for the efficiency evaluation techniques of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and showed that DEA estimators of the best practice monotone increasing and concave production function are also maximum likelihood estimators if the deviation of actual output from the efficient output is regarded as a stochastic variable with a monotonically decreasing probability density function.

Estimating most productive scale size using data envelopment analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the most productive scale size (mpss) for paparticular input and output mixes and returns to scale for multiple-inputs multiple-outputs situations is explicitly developed.

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.
