DEA environmental assessment: Measurement of damages to scale with unified efficiency under managerial disposability or environmental efficiency

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

DEA cross-efficiency evaluation under variable returns to scale

Cross-efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been developed under the assumption of constant returns to scale (CRS), and no valid attempts have been made to apply the cross-efficiency concept to the variable returns to scale (VRS) condition. This is due to the fact that negative VRS cross-efficiency arises for some decision-making units (DMUs). Since there exist many insta...

Scale Efficiency in DEA and DEA-R with Weight Restriction

In data envelopment analyze (DEA) the scale efficiency in the input-oriented CCR model is less than or equal to the scale efficiency in DEA based on the fractional analysis (DEA-R). Also, the scale efficiency in case of multiple inputs and one output and vice versa the scale efficiencies are equal in DEA and DEA-R. In this paper, first, DEA-R model with weight restrictions when there is relativ...

Damages to return with a possible occurrence of eco-technology innovation measured by DEA environmental assessment

Target and Technical Efficiency in DEA – Controlling for Environmental Characteristics

In this paper we propose a target efficiency DEA model that allows for the inclusion of environmental variables in a one stage model while maintaining a high degree of discrimination power. The model estimates the impact of managerial and environmental factors on efficiency simultaneously. A decomposition of the overall technical efficiency into two components, target efficiency and environment...
