The circle-type or global Malmquist index, which is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, is an important index that is widely used for measuring the relative productivity change of decisionmaking units (DMUs) in multiple time periods. This index, similar to the standard approach of measuring the productivity change using the standard Malmquist index, breaks down into various compone...

this paper talks about the measurement of efficiency and productivity of non-life insurance firms in india. this study is focused on twelve private non-life insurance firms and four public sector non-life insurance firms of india in the period 2008-09 to 2012-13. data envelopment analysis (dea) coupled with malmquist productivity index is used in measuring the efficiency as well as productivity...

data envelopment analysis (dea) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. dea-based malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. we propose a dynamic dea model involving network structure in each period within the framework a dea. we have previously published the network dea (ndea) and the dynamic dea ...

the performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. in this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. the supply chain malmquist productivity index (scmpi) can ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) models have been used in formulating the Malmquist index to measure productivity change over time periods. In this article, we question the validity of this index in the presence of input/output slacks that appear in DEA models used. We demonstrate with an application to banking that Malmquist index loses its meaning whenever slacks are present. As a corrective m...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to measure the hospital productivity using data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique and Malmquist indices. METHODS This is a cross sectional study in which the panel data were used in a 4 year period from 2007 to 2010. The research was implemented in 12 teaching and non-teaching hospitals of Ahvaz County. Data envelopment analysis technique and the Malmquist indic...

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to suggest a novel method to measure the productivity changes of hospitals over time in the presence of linguistic variables along with fuzzy data. Methods: Applying the popular and applicable approaches including data envelopment analysis (DEA), Malmquist productivity index (MPI) and possibilistic progra...

although economic and managerial literature is replete with studies that probe about productivity but only a few studies decompose it to its components (technological changes, managerial efficiency changes and scale efficiency changes)and analysis their share in productivity changes (positively or negatively). accordingly, this article attempts to explain the issue by decompose productivity to ...

One of the important aspects in measuring banking performance is efficiency, which can be increased by reducing costs production process or increasing profits. Efficiency one factors that increase productivity. Productivity will measure how much output produced Commercial Banks using existing inputs. In efficiency and productivity, commercial banks use inputs form Third Party Funds (DPK), total...

This paper investigates the total factor productivity (TFP) performance of NWFP agriculture crop subsector from 1970 to 2004. It identifies the sources of growth of TFP growth and assesses TFP growth changes in agriculture crop sub-sector. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach is used to estimate the changes in the production frontier. The Malmquist productivity index has decomposed total fa...
