The Trade Offs approach is an advanced tool for the improvement of the discrimination of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, Meta Malmquist Index was defined by Maria Portella and et. al (2008). In this paper we compute the Meta Malmquist Index in Trade Offs model in DEA and we compare, obtaining results, of Meta Malmquist Index in different models of DEA, Variable Return to Scale (VRS), Co...

The purpose of this study is to introduce a novel methodology measure the central bank efficiency. data envelopment analysis (DEA) applies in combination three input and two output variables characterizing economic balance international trade. Super-efficiency DEA model applied for ranking & comparing efficiency different banks. In contrast, Malmquist productivity index (MPI) used change ov...

one of the most popular approaches to measuring productivity changes is based on using malmquist productivity indexes. in this paper we propose a method for obtaining interval malmquist productivity index (impi). the classical dea models have been before used for measuring the malmquist productivity index. the current article extends dea models for measuring the interval malmquist productivity ...

Although crisp data are fundamentally indispensable for determining the profit Malmquist productivity index (MPI), the observed values in real-world problems are often imprecise or vague. These imprecise or vague data can be suitably characterized with fuzzy and interval methods. In this paper, we reformulate the conventional profit MPI problem as an imprecise data envelopment analysis (DEA) pr...

The algorithm of decision supporting procedure based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) along with the Malmquist Productivity Index is suggested in the paper. The procedure’s core consists of evaluations complex for preliminary data processing and adjustment as well as creating of analytic materials in the field of regional strategy planning. The crucial study issue is to define boundaries of D...

As student numbers in the UK’s higher education sector have expanded substantially during the last 15 years, it has become increasingly important for government to understand the structure of costs in higher education, thus allowing it to evaluate the potential for expansion and associated cost implications. This study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to higher education institutions (HE...

This paper analyses hospital performance using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist productivity index. We follow two approaches to quantify movements in productivity: (1) the traditional approach that only considers output and input variables; and (2) a more comprehensive approach that incorporates movements in quality and restricts some achievements, if quality is reduced. On the...

The Japanese electricity industry has experienced regulatory reforms since the mid-1990s. This article measures productivity in Japan’s steam power-generation sector and examines the effect of reforms on the productivity of this industry over the period 1978–2003. We estimate the Luenberger productivity indicator, which is a generalization of the commonly used Malmquist productivity index, usin...

Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is one of the most famous indices, which is used for estimating the productivity change of a Decision Making Unit (DMU) during the time. Virtually any empirical study that uses MPI, reports average of the productivity indices they estimate to represent the overall tendency in productivity changes. In such a case, productivity indices of a DMU are considered wi...

BACKGROUND China began to implement the national medical and health system and public hospital reforms in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Anhui Province is one of the four pilot provinces, and the medical reform measures received wide attention nationwide. The effectiveness of the above reform needs to get attention. This study aimed to master the efficiency and productivity of county-level public...
