Characterizing and finding full dimensional efficient facets of PPS with constant returns to scale technology

In DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), the Full Dimensional Efficient Facets (FDEFs) of PPS (Production Possibility Set) play a significant role and have many useful applications. In this research, we, first, provide a detailed characterization of the structure of FDEFs of the PPS with constant returns to scale technology, using basic concepts of the polyhedral sets theory. Then, using the mention...

Creating Full Envelopment in Data Envelopment Analysis with Variable Returns to Scale Technology

In this paper, weak defining hyperplanes and the anchor points in DEA, as an important subset of the set of extreme efficient points of the Production Possibility Set (PPS), are used to construct unobserved DMUs and in the long run to improve the envelopment of all observed DMUs. There has been a surge of articles on improving envelopment in recent years. What has been done first is in Constant...

Finding stability regions for preserving efficiency classification of variable returns to scale technology in data envelopment analysis

This paper addresses issue of sensitivity of efficiency classification of variable returns to scale (VRS) technology for enhancing the credibility of data envelopment analysis (DEA) results in practical applications when an additional decision making unit (DMU) needs to be added to the set being considered. It also develops a structured approach to assisting practitioners in making an appropria...

The possibility of mixed-strategy equilibria with constant-returns-to-scale technology under Bertrand competition

We analyze the Nash equilibria of a standard Bertrand model. We show that in addition to the marginal-cost pricing equilibrium there is a possibility for mixed-strategy equilibria yielding positive profit levels. We characterize these equilibria and find that having unbounded revenues is the necessary and sufficient condition for their existence. Hence, we demonstrate that under realistic assum...
