Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based method for evaluating performance of comparable … environmental economics and related fields remains limited. The purpose of this paper is to present basic principles of DEA and … evaluate its application possibilities for a range of environmental valuation problems. We show how DEA has to be adjusted to …

We discuss the nonparametric approach to profit efficiency analysis at the firm and industry levels in the absence of complete price information, and propose two new insights. First, choosing one commodity (whose price is known) as a numeraire good enables us to measure profit inefficiency in...

The need for monitoring countries’ overall performance in Sustainable Development (SD) is widely recognized, but the methods for aggregating vast amounts of empirical data remain rather crude. This paper examines the so-called ‘benefit-of-the-doubt’ weighting method as a tool for...

We show how Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) can handle missing data. When blank data entries are coded by appropriate … dummy values, the DEA model automatically excludes the missing data from the analysis. We extend this result to weight …-restricted DEA models by presenting a simple modification to the usual weight restrictions, which automatically relaxes the weight …

The massive interests of economic literature about the privatisation gave a notable impulse to the discussion about this theme in the pre and post privatisation firms performance. Basically in every case after privatisation the level of profit increases. Does this mean that privatisation is...
