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.

Productivity development of Norwegian electricity distribution utilities

TL;DR: In this article, a piecewise linear frontier technology, reflecting observed best practice, accommodating the multi-output nature of distribution utilities is specified, and a Malmquist index and its components, shift in frontier technology and change in efficiency, have been calculated for the period 1983 to 1989.

An Illustrative Application of Idea Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis to a Korean Mobile Telecommunication Company

TL;DR: The Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis (IDEA) method used permits us to deal not only with imprecise data and exact data but also with weight restrictions as in the (now) widely used "Assurance Region" (AR) and "cone-ratio envelopment" approaches to DEA.

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.
