maximising efficiency in the deregulation period from 2001-02 to 2012-13. Several efficiency estimates viz., overall technical … efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of individual banks are calculated using Data Envelopment Analysis … (DEA). The empirical findings indicate the presence of managerial and scale inefficiencies in the operation of the most of …

This work has proposed, as objectives, the analysis of the evolution of efficiency and its determinants through … nonparametric analysis DEA factors and use of the method by Simar and Wilson (2007) to companies belonging to 27 sectors of … improving efficiency levels across the board. The determinants of efficiency have been market concentration, market share and …

Efficiency analyses in the health care sector are often criticised for not incorporating quality variables. The … the use of resources in various Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. As the use of survey data implies that the quality … variables are measured with error, the assumptions underlying a DEA model are not strictly fulfilled. This paper focuses on ways …

Benchmarking by means of applying the DEA model is appearing as an interesting alternative for regulators under the new …

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 …

Measuring productive efficiency is an important research strand within fields of economics, management science and … operations research. One definition of efficiency is the proportional scaling needed for observations of an inefficient unit to … weighted inputs. When linear programming is used to estimate efficiency the two definitions give identical results due to the …

This paper by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and statistical inference evaluates the citation performance of 229 … economic journals. The paper categorizes the journals into four main categories (A to D) based on their efficiency levels. The … internals ranking and ABS quality ranking report) in a DEA setting and in order to derive the ranking of 229 economic journals …

Since the introduction of bootstrap DEA there is a growing literature on applications which use this method, mainly for … hypothesis testing. It is therefore important to establish the consistency and evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA. The few … coverage probabilities are not a good tool of assessment. In our study we evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA using the …

Bootstrap DEA is a significant development of the past decade …, which could be extended to test almost any hypothesis in bootstrap DEA. Moreover, it enhances the intuition behind bootstrap … DEA and highlights logical and theoretical pitfalls that should be avoided. …
