Inputs, outputs, and a theory of production and cost at depository financial institutions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model within which the role of production and cost can be analyzed and the behavior of the financial firm understood within the context of a profit maximizing producer rather than, as viewed from the portfolio approach, as a rational investor.

Data Envelopment Analysis: Theory and Techniques for Economics and Operations Research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of DEA models for productivity, efficiency, and data envelopment analysis, including non-radial models and Pareto-Koopmans measures of technical efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slack-adjusted efficiency measures and ranking of efficient units

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for ranking efficient units, not by their efficiency, but by importance as benchmarks for the inefficient units, in contrast to earlier suggestions in the literature which rank units high if they are specialized.

Generalized Farrell Measures of Efficiency: An Application to Milk Processing in Swedish Dairy Plants

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply Farrell's measures of efficiency to nonhomogeneous production functions and apply them to the Swedish milk processing industry, and study the shape of the efficiency distributions for individual units and their changes through time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling pollution-generating technologies in performance benchmarking: Recent developments, limits and future prospects in the nonparametric framework

TL;DR: The classic modelling approach relying on the weak disposability assumption is described, and the major recent developments around the inclusion of undesirable outputs in production technology modelling are explained.
