Creating Full Envelopment in Data Envelopment Analysis with Variable Returns to Scale Technology
In this paper, weak defining hyperplanes and the anchor points in DEA, as an important subset of the set of extreme efficient points of the Production Possibility Set (PPS), are used to construct unobserved DMUs and in the long run to improve the envelopment of all observed DMUs. There has been a surge of articles on improving envelopment in recent years. What has been done first is in Constant...
متن کاملEstimating Most Productive Scale Size with Double Frontiers in Data Envelopment Analysis using Negative Data
In this paper, it is assumed that the “Decision Making Units“( ) are consist of positive and negative input and output. Firstly, the optimistic and pessimistic models have been suggested by using negative data and then units with most productive scale size are measured in optimistic and pessimistic models. These productive values are compared with double frontiers and Hurwicz’s Criterion to obt...
متن کاملDealing with interval scale data in data envelopment analysis
This paper considers the problem of interval scale data in the most widely used models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the CCR and BCC models. Radial models require inputs and outputs measured on the ratio scale. Our focus is on how to deal with interval scale variables especially when the interval scale variable is a difference of two ratio scale variables like profit or the decrease/incre...
متن کاملEstimating Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable Factors in Data Envelopment Analysis
This research identifies returns to scale (RTS) of efficient decision making units (DMUs) with desirable (good) and undesirable (bad) inputs and outputs by presenting a new DEA (data envelopment analysis) approach. In this study, we first introduce a new input-output oriented model to determine efficient DMUs in the presence of undesirable factors and then, returns to scale of these DMUs are es...
متن کاملPreference, Production and Performance in Data Envelopment Analysis
In this paper, we re-examine Data Envelopment Analysis models from perspectives of preference order, production set and performance measure. we investigate the relationship between Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making Theory. There are three key building blocks in a DEA model: preference order, production possibility set and performance measure. It is shown in t...
