the purpose of this study is calculate the rate of total factor productivity (tfp) growth  of rice varieties for different provinces of  iran and then breakdown it to the changes in a technology, management efficiency and scale efficiency. for this purpose we use the nonparametric method of comprehensive data analysis and malmquist productivity index. the used data include the rice varieties pr...

This study uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the relative efficiency of 500 higher education institutions (HEIs) in ten European countries and the U.S. for the period between 2000 and 2010. Efficiency scores are determined using different input-output sets (inputs: total revenue, academic staff, administration staff, total number of students; outputs: total number of publications...

In order to measure implementation management efficiency of Chinese green buildings, the input–output index system buildings was constructed base on provincial-level panel data during 2017–2021.The basic model Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and DEA-Malmquist method were adopted analyze development law time–region evolution tendency from static dynamic perspectives, contributing clarifying crit...

Based on a two-stage analysis of a panel of data on 12 outlets of a high-end retailer for 24 months, we investigate how the level of supervisory monitoring affects retail sales productivity. In the first stage, we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compute the relative productivity of retail outlets in using their labor and capital resources to generate store sales. In the second stage, we ...

Countries are forced to develop bio-based economic strategies promote efficient use of renewable natural resources. The transition towards a sustainable forest economy is associated with resource efficiency optimization, adoption innovative approaches in terms technological improvements and cost effectiveness, an opportunity reach multiple societal challenges. This paper focused on comparative ...

The total factor productivity (TFP) of a multiple-output multiple-input firm can be defined as the ratio of an aggregate output to an aggregate input. With this definition, index numbers that measure changes in TFP can be expressed as the ratio of an output quantity index to an input quantity index. This paper uses the term multiplicatively complete to describe TFP index numbers that are constr...

The airline industry faces economic challenges making it paramount that they provide satisfactory service to customers relative to their expectations. This study uses a service quality-adjusted data envelopment analysis (SQ-adjusted DEA) to study US-based airline carrier operational efficiency. We found that airlines can overcome the traditional tradeoff between quality and productivity. Using ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the most widely used methods in the measurement efficiency and productivity of Decision Making Units (DMUs). DEA for a large dataset with many inputs/outputs would require huge computer resources in terms of memory and CPU time. This paper introduces a neural network backpropagation Data Envelopment Analysis. Neural network requirements of computer memo...
