This paper adopts two mathematical approaches, data envelopment analysis (DEA) and grey relation analysis (GRA) to measure DEA efficiency using the sample of 69 listed US internet companies. A total of 40 indicators were initially selected for the efficiency evaluation, with 21 related to DEA-input indicators and 19 to DEAoutput indicators. Eight representative indicators selected using GRA are...

In this study, the Input- Output Structural Decomposition Analysis (I-O SDA) is used to investigate the effects of technological structure changes on changes of total output in Sistan and Baluchestan Province during 2006-2011. The technological structure change is decomposed into two factors: intermediate input structure changes (input substitution) and change in direct backward linkage. The re...

During the last years, the concept of input congestion and technical ineff-ciency in data envelopment analysis (DEA), have been investigated by manyresearchers. The motivation of this paper is to present models which obtain thedecreased output value due to input congestion and technical ineciency. More-over, we extend the models to estimate input congestion, technical ineciencyand output reduct...

this study was designed to find which one of the three different presentations, i.e. input, input-output, and output-input, will be more effective in iranian efl learners' vocabulary acquisitions. to this end, first 54 out of 64 female students, aged from 19 to 23 years, with an average of 21, were selected out of starter-level efl learners at the university of tarbiat moalem in bandar abb...

while conventional data envelopment analysis models set targets separately for each decision making unit, centralized recourse allocation model is presented where there is a centralized decision maker that supervises all the operating units. optimizing of total input consumption and total output production is the main aim of this model. in this paper, firstly the centralized output production m...
