In this paper we extend the proportional rule to division problems with multiple references and we present a result of characterization of the weighted proportional rule. As a particular case, we analyze the problems of probability aggregation and probability updating. division problems with...

This paper addresses the question whether the results of input-output (IO) impact analyses differ (and to what extent) when a framework in current prices or in constant prices is used. We consider the effect of an exogenous stimulus of final demand in current prices on (a) gross output in...

The presence of negative values in the primary inputs vector in the input output framework has been considered as a limitation to the development of multi-sectoral linear models. It is true that, when this circumstance happens, the industries that are related appear unbalanced, however, the...

Many economic models (e.g., computable general equilibrium models, econometric input–output models) revolve around a matrix of technical coefficients. However, these matrices can be estimated only once every 5 years as long as they are calculated from input–output tables and these are only...

Global integration of economies over the past two decades has interconnected many of the countries and industries in the world. The World Input Output Database (WIOD) provides domestic output production and use information on 59 industries, in 40 countries that cover 85% of the global output....

This research is designed to help government and tourism policy-makers evaluate the efficiency and consequences of the Greek taxation system on maritime tourism. The tax revenues generated by the taxes and dues imposed by the state are measured using the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA). Tax...

The aim of the paper is to use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) for mining in Zacatecas and provide efficiency indicators in the years 1998, 2003, and 2008. We compare the performance of the state of Zacatecas with other mining states in Mexico. Then the empirical analysis extends to specific...

This paper identifies a fundamental challenge in the development of input-output databases of the world economy intended for analysis of alternative scenarios with a model of the world economy. Primary data sources for individual economies generally do not use the same sectoral classification...

This paper fruitfully combines two complementary theories: performance measurement and input-output analysis. Our point of departure is the theory of the consumer, who maximizes utility subject to a budget constraint. His well-being can be measured by the change in the consumption bundle, valued...

The purpose of this study is to measure the relative efficiency of banks in Jordan using DEA. Also, it investigated the determinants of such efficiency, in terms of bank size and capitalization. The duration of the measured performance of this sector is (2005-2008). The results indicate that...
