The purpose of this study is to evaluate the governance efficiencies of the water supply systems by applying data envelopment analysis (DEA) to 33 Palestinian municipalities. We demonstrate that DEA can be a useful tool to assess the relative efficiencies of water supply systems and to establish...

Technical and Allocative efficiency are relative concepts, first it is used conventionally, to know if a producer obtain the maximum level of production, according to the amount of inputs used in the process. The second looks for to know if the producer uses the optimal amounts of inputs in the...

This study attempts to analyse the profit efficiency of Indian banks during 2008-2012 to offer an understanding of their business performance and trends during the period. The extant literature suggests that conventional ratio-based performance measures are inadequate to address the different...

While output and impact assessments were initially at the forefront of institutional research evaluations, efficiency measurements have become popular in recent years. Research efficiency is measured by indicators that relate research output to input. The additional consideration of research...

An ongoing debate in the literature on efficiency of higher education institutions concerns the indicator for research output in the empirical analysis. While several studies chose to use the number of publications, others rely on the overall amount of research grants. The present study...

One of the core indicators in the field of scientometrics is the number of papers published by a unit within a given period. However, such indicators can only be assessed properly by considering the unit’s available resources. When evaluating the efficiency of institutions worldwide, the...

In 2015, at the United Nations forum, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were approved to be met by 2030. This research aims to know what has been the behavior of productivity and efficiency of the manufacturing industry in the province of Pichincha, Ecuador, and the relationship with...

Very few studies investigated central banking efficiency. Although Data Envelopment Analysis is widely used to measure efficiency within the banking industry, it has surprisingly never been implemented in a central banking context. In our study, we employ a radial DEA model to measure Eurosystem...
