Ecological Efficiency Based Ranking of Cities: A Combined DEA Cross-Efficiency and Shannon’s Entropy Method
In this paper, a method is proposed to calculate a comprehensive index that calculates the ecological efficiency of a city by combining together the measurements provided by some Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) cross-efficiency models using the Shannon’s entropy index. The DEA models include non-discretionary uncontrollable inputs, desirable and undesirable outputs. The method is implemented to...
متن کاملMaximum appreciative cross-efficiency in DEA: A new ranking method
Ranking decision making units (DMUs) is one of the most important applications of data envelopment analysis (DEA). In this paper, we exploit the power of individual appreciativeness in developing a methodology that combines crossevaluation, preference voting and ordered weighted averaging (OWA). We show that each stage of the proposed methodology enhances discrimination among DMUs while offerin...
متن کاملPreference Voting and Ranking Using Dea Game Cross Efficiency Model
Abstract Data envelopment analysis (DEA), a useful assessment tool, has been used to solve the problem of preference voting and aggregation which require the determination of the weights associated with different ranking places. Instead of applying the same externally imposed weighting scheme to all candidates, DEA models allow each candidate to choose his/her own weights in order to maximize h...
متن کاملRanking DMUs by Comparing DEA Cross-Efficiency Intervals Using Entropy Measures
Cross-efficiency evaluation, an extension of data envelopment analysis (DEA), can eliminate unrealistic weighing schemes and provide a ranking for decision making units (DMUs). In the literature, the determination of input and output weights uniquely receives more attentions. However, the problem of choosing the aggressive (minimal) or benevolent (maximal) formulation for decision-making might ...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
