Equivalence and implementation of alternative methods for determining returns to scale in data envelopment analysis

چکیده
This paper discusses alternative methods for determining returns to scale in DEA. The methods for estimating returns to scale in DEA, as developed by Banker (1984), Banker, Charnes and Cooper (1984) and Banker and Thrall (1992), are proved to be conceptually equivalent to the two-stage methods of F~ire, Grosskopf and Lovell (1985) when their assumptions apply. Here the emphasis is on the CCR model of DEA and very simple methods are introduced for determining returns to scale locally with this model by reference to Banker's conCept of Most Productive Scale Size.

An 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 کاملTwo Methods for Measuring the Environmental Returns to Scale Using Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
Nowadays, the assessment of environmental performance has received considerable attention by environmental strategy advocators and decision makers. In recent years, increased emission of CO2 into the air, water pollution, and global warming are universal problems all over the world. Therefore, development of firms with less CO2 emission is an important issue of attention in every area of produc...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the returns to scale of the Tehran Stock Exchange based on new models in data envelopment analysis. Using this assessment, it is possible to judge the application of contradictory or expansion policies in stock companies. To this end, there is a need for models in the data envelopment analysis that can assess the left and right returns to scales of the d...
متن کاملDetermining Left and right Returns to Scale (RTS) and RTS sustainability by using linear programming problems based on simultaneous changes in inputs and outputs
Determining the type of returns to scale (RTS) and identifying stability region for RTS of evaluating unit are appropriate abilities for forecasting the future the unit when its size is changed. This paper aims to introduce RTS sustainability of frontier decision making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Based on the importance of RTS in relation to decisions of managers, differen...
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...
