چکیده

The main challenge for sustainable development of resource cities is to work out a feasible strategy for transformation processes. This paper introduces a new approach for analysis of transformation performance. Using the environmental production technology and a Malmquist resource performance index (MRPI), we conduct σ , absolute β and conditional β convergence tests for the transformation performance of 21 resource cities in China. The results show that MRPI does not follow the same trend as economic strength of three Chinese regions. In addition, the transformation performance results exhibit a convergence trend for the 21 resource cities. Crown Copyright© 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Efficiency Measurement of Bank Branches with Undesirable Output Using Non-Radial Models of Data Envelopment Analysis

Today, banks, as intermediaries, seek to attract and allocate resources to obtain greater benefit. Therefore, the bank assessment is considered as an important subject in the banking industry. Data envelopment analysis is an effective technique in evaluating the efficiency of decision-making units. There are factors among banking indices (such as receivables from resource allocation) that are i...

A Two-stage DEA Model Considering Shared Inputs, Free Intermediate Measures and Undesirable Outputs

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been proved to be an excellent approach for measuring the performance of decision-making units (DMUs) that use multiple inputs to generate multiple outputs. But the allocation problem of shared inputs and undesirable outputs does not arouse attention in this movement. This paper proposes a two-stage DEA model considering simultaneously the structure of shared...

A Russell Measure for Modeling Environmental Performance

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been long employed as a popular methodology to evaluate the performance of various production activities with multiple inputs and outputs. However, an important issue is that the production process in the real world inevitably generates undesirable outputs (like wastes and pollutants) along with desirable outputs. Therefore, the undesirable outputs should be ...
