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.

Measuring teaching efficiency in higher education: An application of data envelopment analysis to economics graduates from UK Universities 1993

TL;DR: An analysis at the individual level can give institutions insight into whether it is the students own efforts or the institution s efficiency which are a constraint on increased efficiency, and therefore the unit of analysis in a DEA is highly important.

Human capital and convergence: a production-frontier approach*

TL;DR: The authors decompose labor productivity growth into components attributable to technological change (shifts in the world production frontier), technological catch-up (movements toward or away from the frontier), and physical and human capital accumulation.

Estimating the technical and scale efficiency of Greek commercial banks: The impact of credit risk, off-balance sheet activities, and international operations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data envelopment analysis (DEA) to investigate the efficiency of the Greek commercial banking industry over the period 2000-2004, and found that the inclusion of loan loss provisions as an input increases the efficiency scores, but off-balance sheet items do not have a significant impact.

A neutral DEA model for cross-efficiency evaluation and its extension

TL;DR: A neutral DEA model is proposed for cross-efficiency evaluation, which determines one set of input and output weights for each DMU from its own point of view without being aggressive or benevolent to the other DMUs.

Environmental performance evaluation with big data: Theories and methods

TL;DR: The feasibility, reliability, and stability of existing theories and methodologies should be thoroughly validated before they can be successfully applied to evaluate environmental performance in practice and provide scientific basis and guidance to formulate environmental protection policies.

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.
