In this paper method and practice of cross-efficiency calculation is discussed. The main methods proposed in the literature are tested not on a set of artificial data but on a realistic sample of input-output data of European warehouses. The empirical results show the limited role which...

This paper estimates the total factor productivity (TFP) change of the private and public sectors in the Turkish manufacturing industry in the selected provinces for 1990-98. It uses data envelopment analysis to compute Malmquist productivity indices decomposed into two components, namely...

This paper provides transit policy makers and managements with a protocol for analyzing the efficiency of an urban area's non-rail transit when multiple types of service are operated. Procedures are described for estimating (a) the individual technical efficiency of each non-rail transit type,...

A framework for applied production theory should focus on the crucial features of the industry to be studied. First of all, to be useful for a dynamic study, a distinction has to be made between the theoretical production possibilities before investment takes place and the actual empirical...

We provide an axiomatic foundation for efficiency measurement in the full space, referred to as "graph efficiency" measurement by Färe, Grosskopf, and Lovell [1985]. We posit four types of axioms: indication, monotonicity, independence of units of measurement, and continuity. We analyze six...

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 …

There are some specific features of the non-radial DEA (data envelopment analysis) models which cause some problems … under the returns to scale measurement. In the scientific literature on DEA, some methods were suggested to deal with the … returns to scale measurement in the non-radial DEA models. These methods are based on using Strong Complementary Slackness …
