Efficiency and sustainability assessment for a group of farmers in the Brazilian Amazon
The aim of this paper is to use DEA models to evaluate sustainability in agriculture. Several variables are taken into account and the resulting efficiency is measured by comparison. The performance of family farms is analysed here (variables: farmed area, work force, and production). As agricultural sustainability depends on the maintenance of systems of production for long periods of time, th...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Non Additive Measures for Group Multi Attribute Decision Models
This paper extends the Choquet integral, widely used in multi-attribute decision problems, to the non monotone case in the context of Group Decision Theory. Even if not so often, preference structures which violate the monotonicity axiom can be observed in real applications. Our aim is twofold. First, we propose the Choquet integral with non monotone non additive measure. Then, we apply the Cho...
متن کاملManaging non-homogeneous information in group decision making
Within the frame of decision aid literature, decision making problems with multiple sources of information have drawn the attention of researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines. In decision situations with multiple individuals, each one has his own knowledge on the alternatives of the decision problem. The use of information assessed in different domains is not a seldom situation. This no...
متن کاملBridging radial and non-radial measures of efficiency in DEA
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been utilized worldwide for measuring efficiencies of banks, telecommunications, electric utilities and so forth. Yet, the existing models have some well known shortcomings that limit their usefulness. In DEA we have two fundamental approaches to measuring efficiency with very different characteristics; radial and non-radial. We demonstrate a method for linki...
