Measurement of prot inefficiency in presence of interval data using the directional distance function
In many applied programs in real-life problems, both physical inputs and outputsare heterogeneous which in this case the ecient cost and income modelcan not apply to evaluate the cost and income of related turnover. So, a measurementbased on the directional value of prot was presented which we havedeveloped it in this paper and have computed it for interval data. In fact, wehave measured the in...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach to Female Genital Mutilation in West Africa
Female genital mutilation in different parts of the African continent isconsidered as one of the vast territory’s social problems. This social problem whichis accounted as an old tradition in different countries of the African continent hashad so many unpleasant physical and mental effects on urban and rural Africanwomen during recent centuries. Throughout recent decades, considerable effortsha...
متن کاملPRODUCTIVITY AND UNDESIRABLE OUTPUTS: A DIRECTIONAL DISTANCE FUNCTION APPROACH by
Undesirable outputs are often produced together with desirable. This joint production of good and bad outputs bring about a difficulty for productivity measurement. Here we introduce a directional distance function and use it as a component in a new productivity index. This index, as an empirical example shows, seems to solve the problem caused by the joint production of good and bad outputs. P...
متن کاملAssessing conventional and organic citrus farming systems eco- efficiency: a metafrontier directional distance function approach using Life Cycle Analysis
En este trabajo se analiza la eco-eficiencia de explotaciones citrícolas que operan bajo dos sistemas tecnológicos diferentes, convencional y orgánico. La metodología empleada combina el Análisis del Ciclo de Vida, para estimar los impactos ambientales vinculados al proceso de producción, y el Análisis Envolvente de Datos, para calcular la posición de cada explotación en relación a una frontera...
متن کاملMeasurement of dynamic efficiency, a directional distance function parametric approach
This research proposes a parametric estimation of the structural dynamic efficiency measures proposed by Silva and Oude Lansink (2009). Overall, technical and allocative efficiency measurements are derived based on a directional distance function and the duality between this function and the optimal value function. The applicability of the parametric proposal is illustrated by assessing dynamic...
