Allocative efficiency of technically inefficient production units
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss how to measure allocative efficiency without presuming technical efficiency. This is relevant when it is easier to introduce reallocations than improvements of technical efficiency. We compare the approach to the traditional one of assuming technical efficiency before measuring allocative efficiency. In particular, we develop necessary and sufficient conditions on the technology to ensure consistent measures and we give dual organizational interpretations of the approaches.

A New Method for Optimization of Inefficient Cost Units In The Presence of Undesirable Outputs
Undesirable Output such as pollution and waste may occasionally occur in the production process, which should be reduced to improve efficiency. In the present study, cost efficiency model is presented in the presence of undesirable output by Inverse Linear Programming, and the desirable cost is calculated in order to achieve cost efficiency for units that are technically efficient but not cost-...
