A generalized cost Malmquist index to compare the productivities of units with negative data in DEA
نویسندگان
چکیده
In some data envelopment analysis (DEA) applications, some inputs of DMUs have negative values with positive cost. This paper generalizes the global cost Malmquist productivity index to compare the productivity of different DMUs with negative inputs in any two periods of times under variable returns to scale (VRS) technology, and then the generalized index is decomposed to several components. The obtained components are computed using the nonparametric linear programming models, known as DEA. To illustrate the generalized index and its components, a numerical example at three successive periods of time is given. c ⃝ 2014 IAUCTB. All rights reserved.

متن کاملMalmquist Productivity Index with Dynamic Network Structure
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. DEA-based Malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. We propose a dynamic DEA model involving network structure in each period within the framework a DEA. We have previously published the network DEA (NDEA) and the dynamic DEA ...
متن کاملA Modified Directional Distance Formulation of DEA with Malmquist Index to Assess Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy in the same amount of time and history is very rampant and therefore the vision of the future can be prevented. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and malmquist index can precise evaluating of the performances of many different kinds of decision making units (DMU) such as hospitals, universities, business firms, etc. In this paper, we will modify directional distance formulation o...
متن کاملMalmquist productivity index in several time periods on interval data
The productivity change of a decision making unit (DMU) between two time periods can be evaluated by the Malmquist productivity index. In this study, we propose a method to compute the Malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) on interval data in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, the obtained Malmquist productivity index is compared with Malm...
