Enhancing the economic and environmental efficiency of municipal solid waste (MSW) management is crucial for transitioning to a circular economy achieving cost-efficient sustainable practices. In this study, we introduce an innovative approach examine influence MSW recycling on performance over multiple years. We employ non-parametric method assess compare Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) Mal...

The Malmquist-Takenaka system is a perturbation of the classical trigonometric system, where powers $z$ are replaced by products other M\"obius transforms disc. also inherently connected to so-called nonlinear phase unwinding decomposition which has been in center some recent activity. We prove $L^p$ bounds for maximal partial sum operator series under additional assumptions on zeros transforms...

This article computes the energy productivity changes of regions in Japan using total-factor frameworks based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). Since the traditional DEA-Malmquist index cannot analyze changes in single-factor productivity changes under the total-factor framework, we apply a new index proposed by Hu and Chang [2009. Total-factor energy productivity growth of regions in China. ...

This study examines the relative technical efficiency of 12 hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia. Using six-year-round panel data for the period between 2007/08 and 2012/13, this study examines the technical efficiency, total factor productivity, and determinants of the technical inefficiency of hospitals. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and DEA- based Malmquist productivity index used to estimate rel...

In this paper, we focus on the efficiency performance of the Vietnamese commercial banks in terms of their efficiency change, productivity growth, and technological change during the period 2001–2003. We use a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model for this purpose. Productivity is measured using the Malmquist total factor productivity index. The panel data of 13 commercial banks in Vietnam are ...

in some situations the producers desire to maximize total profit of decision making units (dmus) while the inputs and outputs prices of dmus change from one time period to another. in this paper, the researchers develop productivity index when producers are going to maximize total profit when the price of inputs and outputs are known.the proposed method uses all price information about inputs a...

this study uses the data envelopment analysis (dea) to assess the progress/regression of decision-making units (dmus) having a two-stage structure‎. ‎the progress/regression of these dmu can be assessed in the first stage‎, ‎the second stage‎, ‎and the whole system‎. ‎in the first stage‎, ‎the progress/regression of bank branches in collecting resources and in the second stage their progress/re...

The passing of the Transport Act 1985 deregulated and privatised bus industry in Great Britain outside London, however failed to address prime specified aim reversing long run decline patronage. Review literature suggests one main reasons for this was due subsequent consolidation that resulted anti-competitive market structures outcomes, i.e. inefficient production fare levels monopoly profits....

The ongoing transition to a low-carbon, sustainable forest-based economy, and the adoption of circular bioeconomy principles in wood-processing industry is associated with optimization natural resources, application environmentally production technologies, technological organizational innovations, increased economic efficiency competitiveness. implementation all these measures can help reach bi...
