The Le Chatelier Principle in Data Envelopment Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper gives a brief review of the nonparametric approach to efficiency measurement or Data Envelopment Analysis as it is known in the operations research literature. Inequalities are derived between the efficiency measures when different assumptions are made on the technology sets or on the behavior of managers. Of particular interest is the derivation of a Le Chatelier Principle for measures of allocative inefficiency. Finally, DEA methods for measuring the relative efficiency of production units are compared with the more traditional index number and econometric methods.

The Conditions of the Violations of Le Chatlier’s Principle in Gas Reactions at Constant T and P
Le Chatelier's principle is used as a very simple way to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. . However, several studies have reported the violation of this principle, still there is no reported simple mathematical equation to express the exact condition of violation in the gas phase reactions. In this article, we derived a simple equation for the violation of...

1 Department of Materials Science and Engineering, PennState University, PA 16802. Email: [email protected] Abstract – Engineering education often makes reference to historical “laws” dating back to a time when science was still at an early stage of development. An example is the principle of displacement and moderation of chemical equilibrium formulated by Le Chatelier in various forms betw...

The existing Data Envelopment Analysis models for evaluating the relative eciency of a set of decision making units by using various inputs to produce various outputs are limited to crisp data in crisp production possibility set. In this paper, rst of all the production possibility set is extended to the fuzzy production possibility set by extension principle in constant return to scale, and th...

One of the most serious principles in production theory in economic is the principle of "efficiency". Simply put, efficiency can be defined as the demand that the desired goals (outputs) are achieved with the minimum use of the available resources (inputs). In order to, distinguish the relative efficiency of organizational units with multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs, "Data Envelopmen...
