This study uses CRR model and BCC model to estimate the technical and scale efficiency of commercial banks in India during the periods 2006-2010. The results indicate that deregulation of banking sector has led to an increase in the efficiency of commercial banks in India. This increase in efficiency of banks in India is not only because of increase in pure technical efficiency but also due to ...

The assessment of the effectiveness of e-commerce websites is of critical importance to online retailers. However, the current techniques for evaluating effectiveness are limited in that they do not allow for formal empirical measurement of the productivity and performance of the website. In this paper, we use the theoretical perspective of production economics to measure the performance of Int...

Using the US states plus the District of Columbia, output-oriented innovative efficiency scores are computed using data envelopment analysis (DEA) where total patent counts serve as the measure of innovative output and industry and academic research and development expenditures, and numbers of research scientists, graduate students, and postdoctoral positions are inputs. In the second stage the...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for the production of MWCNTs/PVC (multi-walled carbon nanotubes/ polyvinyl chloride) nanocomposites. In this method, a spray is used to produce layers of carbon nanotubes within a PVC matrix. Various parameters influence the production of the nanocomposite and its mechanical properties. These parameters are studied separately and the effect of each of par...

occurrence of chaotic behaviors because of fluctuations creation and their intensified transfer along the chain is one of the main causes of inefficiency of material requirements planning (mrp) based supply chains. one of the reasons of the inefficiency is the lumpiness phenomenon. through this phenomenon, some parts have an irregular production schedule, with nothing produced in some periods a...

This paper examines the allocation of productive resources within rural households of poor countries. Building upon the existing literature, it provides a consistent framework from which to study productive efficiency and intrahousehold equity. The topics discussed include returns to scale and household centralization; specialization and gender casting; separate spheres and commitment failure; ...
