Emrouznejad et al. (2010) proposed a Semi-Oriented Radial Measure (SORM) model for assessing the efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs) by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with negative data. This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness of the input and output...

This study presents some quantitative evidence from a number of simulation experiments on the accuracy of the productivity growth estimates derived from growth accounting (GA) and frontier-based methods (namely data envelopment analysis-, corrected ordinary least squares-, and stochastic...

Lack of discrimination power and poor weight dispersion remain major issues in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Since the initial multiple criteria DEA (MCDEA) model developed in the late 1990s, only goal programming approaches; that is, the GPDEA-CCR and GPDEA-BCC were introduced for solving...
