Measuring the impacts of production risk on technical efficiency: A state-contingent conditional order-m approach

Serra, Teresa; Oude Lansink, Alfons - In: European Journal of Operational Research 239 (2014) 1, pp. 237-242

This article studies the influence of risk on farms’ technical efficiency levels. The analysis extends the order-m efficiency scores approach proposed by Daraio and Simar (2005) to the state-contingent framework. The empirical application focuses on cross section data of Catalan specialized...

Efficiency assessment of primary care providers: A conditional nonparametric approach

Cordero, José Manuel; Alonso-Morán, Edurne; … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 240 (2015) 1, pp. 235-244

This paper uses a fully nonparametric approach to estimate efficiency measures for primary care units incorporating the effect of (exogenous) environmental factors. This methodology allows us to account for different types of variables (continuous and discrete) describing the main...

An equilibrium efficiency frontier data envelopment analysis approach for evaluating decision-making units with fixed-sum outputs

Yang, Min; Li, Yongjun; Chen, Ya; Liang, Liang - In: European Journal of Operational Research 239 (2014) 2, pp. 479-489

Based on the minimal reduction strategy, Yang et al. (2011) developed a fixed-sum output data envelopment analysis (FSODEA) approach to evaluate the performance of decision-making units (DMUs) with fixed-sum outputs. However, in terms of such a strategy, all DMUs compete over fixed-sum outputs...
