Abstract Choosing the Most Preferred Solution (MPS), namely a real or artificial Decision Making Unit (DMU) reflecting decision maker’s preferences over desirable structure of inputs and outputs, is particular importance in Value Efficiency Analysis (VEA). In this paper, we review various MPS choices used VEA literature propose some new, which rely respectively on relative position frontier DMU...

Beef cow-calf efficiency has been a topic of several review and symposium papers. A primary focus of many discussions on beef cowherd efficiency has centered on reproductive success and calf yield per cow, or more simplistically calf weight divided by cow weight. Reproduction and weaning weight are important but research has also demonstrated potential benefit from selecting for metabolic effic...

Halme, Joro, Korhonen, Salo and Wallenius [1998] present an approach for using preference information in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In their paper, they develop value efficiency, an extension of the concept of efficiency in DEA. In this paper, we develop some related concepts, and present two refinements: 1. Some bounds on the value efficiency scores that may be obtained without any decis...

in modern economics, intellectual capital is described as an intangible asset which can be used as a source of sustainable competitive advantage. however, intellectual capital components have to interact in themselves to create value. the paper seeks to examine the impact of intellectual capital on firms’ market value and financial performance. the efficiency of the value added by corporate int...

ABSTRACT- Crop rotation has many benefits for agro-ecosystems production. In order to evaluate two current rotation systems of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Kamalabad region of Fasa, an experiment was conducted during 2015-2016 growing season. The rotation systems were fallow-wheat and cotton (Gossypium spp.)-wheat. Research plots were arranged as a randomized complete block design...
