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 …

This study measures productivity growth using the Metafrontier Malmquist-Luenberger productivity growth index (MML index) method and decomposes the index. The results are compared with those obtained from the conventional Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) productivity growth index. MML has two...

We reconsider the motivation of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the non-parametric technique that is widely employed … conventional engineering motivation of DEA can be problematic since it often builds on unverifiable production axioms. We then … provide a dual viewpoint and highlight the ‘behavioral’ interpretation of DEA models. We start from a specification of the …
