Two-Stage DEA: An Application to Major League Baseball
TLDR
In this article, the authors use DEA to model DMUs that produce in two stages, with output from the first stage becoming input to the second stage, and apply the model to Major League Baseball, demonstrating its advantages over a standard DEA model.Abstract:
We show how to use DEA to model DMUs that produce in two stages, with output from the first stage becoming input to the second stage. Our model allows for any orientation or scale assumption. We apply the model to Major League Baseball, demonstrating its advantages over a standard DEA model. Our model detects inefficiencies that standard DEA models miss, and it can allow for resource consumption that the standard DEA model counts towards inefficiency. Additionally, our model distinguishes inefficiency in the first stage from that in the second stage, allowing managers to target inefficient stages of the production process.read more

Two-stage DEA model with additional input in the second stage and part of intermediate products as final output
Yu Yu,Qinfen Shi +1 more
TL;DR: A two-stage DEA model with additional input in the second stage and part of intermediate products as final output is proposed and a parametric transformation is described to solve the non-linear programming of the overall cooperative efficiency model.

Impact of firm size and industry type on R&D efficiency throughout innovation and commercialisation stages: evidence from Korean manufacturing firms
TL;DR: This study aims at analysing relative efficiency scores throughout the stages of the R&D process using a two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model with a sample of 1039 Korean manufacturing firms and finds that firms show imbalanced R &D efficiency throughout the two stages and R&M efficiency is different by firm size and industry type.

A novel two-stage DEA production model with freely distributed initial inputs and shared intermediate outputs
Mohammad Izadikhah,Madjid Tavana,Madjid Tavana,Debora Di Caprio,Debora Di Caprio,Francisco J. Santos-Arteaga +5 more
TL;DR: Four new linear models to determine the upper and lower bounds of the efficiencies of the two sub-DMUs in a non-cooperative setting and a linear model to calculate the overall efficiency of DMU in a cooperative setting are developed.

Target intermediate products setting in a two-stage system with fairness concern
TL;DR: In this article, a new DEA model taking account of fairness in the setting of the intermediate products is proposed, where the fairness is interpreted based on Nash bargaining game model, in which the two stages negotiate their target efficiencies in the two-stage system based on their individual efficiencies.

Disentangling the European airlines efficiency puzzle: A network data envelopment analysis approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the aims of previous contributions by considering a network Data Envelopment Analysis (network DEA) approach which comprises two sub-technologies that can share part of the inputs.

Productivity and intermediate products: a frontier approach
Rolf Färe,Shawna Grosskopf +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-parametric productivity measure that explicitly incorporates intermediate products is proposed, which is based on the Productivity Index (PII) and employs a nonparametric approach to measure productivity.

Productivity and Intermediate Products: A Frontier Approach
Rolf Färe,Shawna Grosskopf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a frontier model for productivity measurement that explicitly recognizes that some inputs are produced and consumed within the production technology, where intermediate inputs may also be final output.

An intermediate input model of dairy production using complex survey data
Rolf Färe,Gerald Whittaker +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that the decomposition of production into subproduction processes reduces the dimensions of problem specification, with the effect that a larger number of variables may be usefully included in the model.
