Efficient Diversification According to Stochastic Dominance Criteria

TL;DR: This paper develops the first operational tests of portfolio efficiency based on the general stochastic dominance criteria that account for an infinite set of diversification strategies by reexpressing the SD criteria in T-dimensional Euclidean space, with elements representing rates of return in different states of nature.

An application of data envelopment analytic hierarchy process for supplier selection: a case study of BEKO in Turkey

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied a hybrid method of supplier selection to a well-known Turkish company operating in the appliance industry, and concluded that the DEAHP method outperformed the AHP method for supplier selection despite the findings that the AAHP model suggested supplier 1 to be the best supplier, contradicting the suggestion made by DEAHP model and real action taken by BEKO in selecting supplier 2.

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.
