A Slack-Based Model for Estimating Returns to Scale under Weight Restrictions
نویسنده
چکیده
Our aim in this work is to determine returns to scale (RTS) under weights restrictions in data envelopment analysis (DEA). At first, we review Tone,s method (2001) proposed in this field, then by using a slack-based model, we introduce a new method that enables us to reach our aim. The advantage of the method proposed in this article over Tone,s method is that for determining returns to scale, we solve one model instead two models, and the results obtained are the same as those by Tone,s method. This is supported by an empirical example.

Estimation of Return to Scale under Weight Restrictions in Data Envelopment Analysis
Return-To-Scale (RTS) is a most important topic in DEA. Many methods are not obtained for estimating RTS in DEA, yet. In this paper has developed the Banker-Trall approach to identify situation for RTS for the BCC model "multiplier form" with virtual weight restrictions that are imposed to model by DM judgments. Imposing weight restrictions to DEA models often has created problem of infeasibili...
متن کاملMeasuring Performance, Estimating Most Productive Scale Size, and Benchmarking of Hospitals Using DEA Approach: A Case Study in Iran
Background and Objectives: The goal of current study is to evaluate the performance of hospitals and their departments. This manuscript aimed at estimation of the most productive scale size (MPSS), returns to scale (RTS), and benchmarking for inefficient hospitals and their departments. Methods: The radial and non-radial data envelopment analysis (DEA) ap...
متن کاملAn Additive Model for Estimation Return to Scale in Regulated Environment with Quasi-Fixed Inputs in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
The measurement of RTS amounts measures a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many different ways to calculate RTS in primal or dual space. But in more realistic cases, governments usually intervene on DMU’s behavior as regulatory agency, this clearly represent a set of limitations and restrictions on behaviors of DMUs, So very few decisions in DMUs are ...
متن کاملThe measurement of returns to scale under a simultaneous occurrence of multiple solutions in a reference set and a supporting hyperplane
Sueyoshi and Sekitani in 2007 presented a paper that explores the measurement of Returns to Scale under a possible occurrence of multiple solution in a reference set and a supporting hyperplane. The occurrence of multiple solutions is classified into Type I and Type II. Type I is an occurrence of multiple solutions in a reference set. Type II is an occurrence of multiple solutions on a supporti...
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...
