Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique for performance evaluation of peer decision making units (DMUs). The network DEA models study the internal structures of DMUs. Using two-stage network structures as an example, the current paper examines additive efficiency decomposition where the overall efficiency is defined as a weighted average of stage efficiencies and the weights are used to ...

As a new industry, the healthy development of energy vehicle industry is great significance for effectively solving environmental problems and crises. The purpose this study was to analyze technological innovation process China’s enterprises construct evaluation index system technology efficiency SBM model-based network DEA model from two aspects research stage achievement transformation stage....

The banking industry plays a key role in the process of Taiwan’s economic development, and the structure of the financial system in Taiwan has turned from a controlled system into a liberalized one. In this paper, we employ the Malmquist productivity index approach, which is calculated from efficiency scores based on DEA linear programming technique, to measure the technical efficiency and prod...

Along with technological innovations and developments experienced in the second half of twentieth century, very important changes have occurred healthcare. Many different, complex economically expensive services are being tried to be carried out together. For this reason, it is finally crucial that health delivered by providers scarce resources effectively efficiently people without sacrificing...

Nondiscretionary environmental inputs are critical in explaining relative efficiency differences and productivity changes in public sector applications. For example, the literature on education production shows that school districts perform better when student poverty is lower. In this paper, we extend the nonparametric approach to decompose Malmquist productivity index suggested by Färe et al....

This study is conducted to measure the actual efficiency comparison of life insurance company between Bangladesh and Malaysia. Total 15 life insurance companies’ were selected for the study where 10 conventional life insurance companies’ from Bangladesh and 5 Takaful lifeinsurance companies’ from Malaysia. Authors tried toindicate the problems and way to get exact solutions by using Data Envelo...

We analyze hospital efficiency and productivity growth using an innovative approach which employs the directional distance function and the Luenberger productivity indicator. The primary advantage of our approach is that both input contractions and output expansions are considered. Our model generates a productivity indicator that is decomposed into the usual constituents of productivity growth...

Abstract In the past few years, diversification has turned into a highly controversial issue amongst numerous managers in almost each and every business. It is contended by many that diversification is vitally important and highly effective especially when it comes to evaluating the financial performance. There are several studies about the relationship between diversification and financial per...

This paper describes the development and application over a 4-year period of a performance monitoring system based upon mathematical programming methods. The setting is the engineering services division of an international airline. An integrated performance measurement system is developed that extends the balanced scorecard into an holistic appraisal system incorporating multiple perspectives a...
