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

Measuring the efficiency of NBA teams: additive efficiency decomposition in two-stage DEA
TL;DR: The empirical results show that NBA teams present a better performance on wage efficiency than for on-court efficiency, which suggests that teams’ managers can enhance organizational efficiency more efficaciously by prudentially recruiting players.

Unoriented two-stage DEA: The case of the oscillating intermediate products
TL;DR: An unoriented two-stage DEA model is presented to measure efficiency in situations in which analysts seek to simultaneously reduce input quantities and increase output quantities and is applied to Major League Baseball teams during the 2009 season to demonstrate how this approach provides a deeper understanding of each team’s operations.

Evaluating the efficiency of dual-use technology development programs from the R&D and socio-economic perspectives
TL;DR: The results of this study show that the R&D efficiency is substantially higher than the socio-economic efficiency and among the dual-use technology development programs, material and chemical engineering programs demonstrate relatively higher performance.

Assessing the performance of Taiwan's environmental protection system with a non-radial network DEA approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine various aspects of environmental protection and establish a non-radial network DEA approach to evaluate the performance of an environmental protection system, which assumes that the system consists of three stages: administrative, executive processes, and protection effectiveness.

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.
