Neoclassical growth accounting is a methodology used to measure the contribution of different production factors to economic growth and to indirectly compute the rate of technological progress. This model assumes constant returns to scale and perfectly competitive factor markets, which implies...

In for-profit organizations, profit efficiency decomposition is considered important since estimates on profit drivers are of practical use to managers in their decision making. Profit efficiency is traditionally due to two sources - technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. The...

We measure eco-efficiency of an economy by means of an augmented Leontief input-output model extended by constraints for primary inputs. Using a multi-objective optimization model, the eco-efficiency frontier of the economy is generated. The results of these multi-objective optimization problems...

The main goal of this research is to compare and contrast two methodologies that exist within the multi-criteria decision making field. After presenting Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Multi-Dimensional Scaling approach (Co-plot), the two techniques are evaluated and compared against...
