In the performance evaluation process, using the classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, decision making units (DMUs) are considered as black boxes. While in many cases and different applications such as investment funds, banks, insurance companies, etc., DMUs have a network structure. In addition, in many network structures, some of the indicators used to calculate the efficiency...

Resources scarcity and environmental degradation have made sustainable resource utilization protection necessary worldwide. The development of the circular economy is considered an approach for more appropriate economic management. This work introduces a cooperative game network data envelopment analysis model evaluating implementation effect recycling production systems from closed loop centra...

In data envelopment analysis (DEA), mul-tiplier and envelopment CCR models eval-uate the decision-making units (DMUs) under optimal conditions. Therefore, the best prices are allocated to the inputs and outputs. Thus, if a given DMU was not efficient under optimal conditions, it would not be considered efficient by any other models. In the current study, using common weights in DEA, a number of...
