Applications of the DEA models show that inadequate results may arise in some cases, two of these inadequacies being: a …) too many efficient units may appear in some DEA models; b) a DEA model may show an inefficient unit from the point of view … concept of a terminal unit is introduced for such units. A method for improving the adequacy of DEA models based on terminal …

The materials balance principle points to the crucial role of material inputs in generating residuals in production processes. Pollution modelling must be of a multi-output nature. The most flexible transformation function in outputs and inputs used in textbooks is too general to make sense in...

The field of theoretical and applied efficiency analysis is pursued both by economists and people from operational research and management science. Each group tends to cite a different paper as the seminal one. Recent availability of electronically accessible databases of journal articles makes...
