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

Efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of marketing in services
Hean Tat Keh,Singfat Chu,Jiye Xu +2 more
TL;DR: This paper represents the first attempt to model these efficiency and effectiveness issues using a 49-unit Asia–Pacific hotel chain as illustration and finds that all the units rated as relatively inefficient can accrue increasing returns to scale in revenues from marketing activities.

Deriving the DEA frontier for two-stage processes

TL;DR: An approach for determining the frontier points for inefficient DMUs within the framework of two-stage DEA is developed.

A classification of DEA models when the internal structure of the Decision Making Units is considered
TL;DR: A common feature among the several models is that the efficiency evaluation of the DMU depends on the efficiency values of its subunits thereby increasing the discrimination power of DEA methodology with respect to the black box approach.

Resolving the deposit dilemma: A new DEA bank efficiency model.
Dmytro Holod,Herbert F. Lewis +1 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed an alternative Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) bank efficiency model that treats deposits as an intermediate product, thus emphasizing the dual role of deposits in the bank production process.

DEA model with shared resources and efficiency decomposition
TL;DR: A set of DEA models for measuring the performance of two-stage network processes with non splittable shared inputs under the assumption of variable returns to scale (VRS), but can be readily applied under the assumptions of constant returns to Scale (CRS).

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.
