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

Value capture mechanism: R & D productivity comparison of SMEs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined which value capture strategies are efficient in the invention stage and commercialization stage for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and found that informal strategy (secrecy, lead-time) is more efficient than formal strategy in the patent stage.

Estimating Two-Stage Network Technology Inefficiency: An Application to Cooperative Shinkin Banks in Japan
TL;DR: The findings indicate that models that ignore a network structure and measure performance using a black-box DEA model miss about 50% of total bank inefficiency when measured by the network model.

Ya Chen,Yande Gong,Xiang Li +2 more
TL;DR: A bounded integer DEA model is applied to evaluating the performance of National Basketball Association (NBA) players when bounded integer data exist and a super-efficiency measure is developed under the boundedinteger data.

Sustainability Assessment of Supply Chains by Inverse Network Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: This paper proposes inverse network dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, which changes both inputs and outputs of decision making units (DMUs) so that current efficiency scores of DMUs remain unchanged.

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.
