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 Bounds for Two-Stage Production Systems
TL;DR: The Salo and Punkka (2011) model is extended to a more common and practical case considering the two-stage production structure as well as efficiency bounds for each subsystem/substage and an application for nonlife insurance companies has been discussed to illustrate the applicability and show the usefulness of this method.

Slacks-Based Network DEA
Kaoru Tone,Miki Tsutsui +1 more
TL;DR: A slacks-based network DEA model is proposed that can deal with intermediate products formally and be used to evaluate divisional efficiencies along with the overall efficiency of decision making units (DMUs).

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.
