Productivity changes of units: A directional measure of cost Malmquist index
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examines the productivity changes of decision making units in situation where input price vectors are varying between them and inputs are heterogeneous; that is a noncompetitive market. We present a directional measure of cost Malmquist productivity index where incorporates the decision maker's preference over productivity change over time. A simple numerical example is designed to illustrate the new measure of the cost Malmquist index.

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 کاملInterval Malmquist Productivity Index in DEA
Data envelopment analysis is a method for evaluating the relative efficiency of a collection of decision making units. The DEA classic models calculate each unit’s efficiency in the best condition, meaning that finds a weight that the DMU is at its maximum efficiency. In this paper, utilizing the directional distance function model in the presence of undesirable outputs, the efficiency of each ...
متن کاملEstimating multi-period global cost efficiency and productivity change of systems with network structures
The current paper develops three different ways to measure the multi-period global cost efficiency for homogeneous networks of processes when the prices of exogenous inputs are known at all time periods. A multi-period network data envelopment analysis model is presented to measure the minimum cost of the network system based on the global production possibility set. We show that there is a rel...
متن کاملA generalized cost Malmquist index to compare the productivities of units with negative data in DEA
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 dierent 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...
