This paper presents a slacks-based measure network data envelopment analysis (SBM-NDEA) model of performance measurement under series productions with quasi-fixed inputs of runway, terminal and apron areas as well as free linking capacity provisions. Airport operations efficiency is decomposed...

This article proposes an extended three-stage DEA methodology similar to Fried et al. (2002) to improve the measurement of productivity growth then the assumption of free disposability of undesirable outpu t does not apply. A directional distance function is used to construct adjusted...

The purpose of this paper is to apply a hyperbolic graph efficiency approach to measure "return to the dollar" at the station-level of the Taiwan Motor Transport Company before and after privatization. The "return to the dollar" measure is decomposed into two components: a technical efficiency...

This paper provides a multi-activity network data envelopment analysis model that represents both production and consumption technologies in a unified framework. The model is applied to simultaneously estimate passenger and freight technical efficiency, service effectiveness, and technical...

A panel dataset of 29 provinces in China is used to analyze the productivity growth in China's agricultural sector over the period 1990-2003. We compute the output-oriented Malmquist productivity indexes and their decomposition using a sequential data envelopment analysis approach. The results...

The aim of the paper is to assist administrators ascertain the efficient future growth in passenger and aircraft movements when making use of currently available airport resources and at the same time embracing undesirable outputs and environmental factors. Three types of airport efficiency...
