banks are one of the most important financial sectors in order to the economic development of each country. certainly, efficiency scores and ranks of banks are significant and effective aspects towards future planning. sometimes the performance of banks must be measured in the presence of undesirable and vague factors. for these reasons in the current paper a procedure based on data envelopment...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). Recently network DEA models been developed to examine the efficiency of DMUs with internal structures. The internal network structures range from a simple two-stage process to a complex system where multiple divisions are linked together with intermediate measures. In general, there ar...

This study analyzes the technical-economic feasibility study for construction of solar plants in 14 different locations of Khuzestan province in Iran. The HOMER software, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Balanced Scorecard (BSC), and Game Theory (GT) were used for ranking the areas in the province. The outputs of the HOMER software includes the kind of equipment to be used for building of each ...

performance evaluation of universities is an important issue between researchers. classic data envelopment analysis (dea) models with deterministic data have been used by many authors to measure efficiency of universities in different countries. however, dea with stochastic data are, rarely used to measure efficiency of universities. in this paper, input oriented model in stochastic data envelo...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and outputs. the traditional dea treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. this carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

the need for monitoring the overall performance of countries in sustainable development (sd) is widely recognized, but scant attention has been devoted to methods for aggregating and analyzing vast amounts of empirical data. this paper describes the development and application of a data envelopment analysis (dea) methodology for addressing the challenges of benchmarking sustainable development....

In the evaluation of non-efficient units by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) referenced Decision Making Units (DMU’s) have an important role. Unfortunately DMU’s with extra ordinary output can lead to a monopoly in a reference set, the fact called abnormality due to the outliers' data. In this paper, we introduce a DEA model for evaluating DMU’s under this circumstance. The layer model can resul...

-Organizations need to work on productivity improvement in order to enhance their operational performances. A number of works have taken efforts in efficiency evaluation and ranking using analytic methods such as the data envelopment analysis (DEA). However, few works have highlighted the relationship among significant factors that affect productivity. Performing efficiency evaluation and ranki...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique for identifying efficiency scores of decision making units (DMUs). Since DEA models cannot present efficient frontiers of PPS, in order to do this, we introduce a method for identifying efficient frontier for DMUs with interval data.

As the result of climate change and deteriorating global environmental quality, nations are under pressure to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases per unit of GDP. China has announced that it is aiming not only to reduce carbon emission per unit of GDP, but also to consume increased amounts of non-fossil energy. The carbon emission allowance is a new type of financial asset in each Chines...
