India's power sector has a significant impact on the country's development and climate change mitigation efforts. Optimization of energy planning is therefore, key to achieving the overall planning goals. The hierarchical multi-objective policy optimization is a policy-centric multi-level...

The purpose of this study is to measure Romanian large FMCG retail chains’ efficiency during the period of 2006-2011. The sample contains 27 large retail chains. For the purpose of this analysis, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was used. The DEA model includes three variables,...

In most cases, energy use in the production of a given desirable output results in the generation of undesirable output also as a by-product. Thus, the aim of this paper is to estimate energy use efficiency in Indian cement industry considering energy related undesirable emission. Depending on...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used as a tool for technical efficiency evaluation of decision making units. These units are compared with each other. The comparison is based on the size of inputs and outputs. In case of an inefficient unit, there is a possible of ordaining necessary changes...

Our work has several aims. We have evaluated the Quality of life of the regions (NUTS 3 regions) in the Czech Republic, according to the selected criteria by the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. This method was initially proposed to evaluate the efficiency. In this paper, the level of...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used as a tool for technical efficiency evaluation of decision- making units. The units are compared with each other, which means to compare inputs, outputs and evaluate their efficiency. In case of non-efficiency unit, we can ordain necessary changes for...

The formation of the rating of banks of Ukraine on the basis of DEA is proposed in the article. The rating model and the system of indicators to estimate the effectiveness of the banks is formed. The set of managerial recommendations for the banking management was developed on the basis of the...

The specialised literature has frequently addressed the relationship between life domains and people’s satisfaction with life. Some researchers have posed questions regarding the importance of domains, therefore interpreting them as weights and creating domain satisfaction indices. This paper...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first and the most important is to examine the efficiency of Islamic banks relative to conventional banks operating in North African Arab countries, in terms of cost and revenue efficiency. The second objective is to assess more evidence...

There have been growing needs to investigate oil and gas firms more closely due to their corporate scandals. Globally, oil firm managements have become more risk intolerant. They are sometimes under pressure to deliver results within a short time, which often negatively affect their ability to...
