abstract

in data envelopment analysis, the relative efficiency of a decision making unit (dmu) is defined as the ratio of the sum of its weighted outputs to the sum of its weighted inputs allowing the dmus to freely allocate weights to their inputs/outputs. however, this measure may not reflect a the true efficiency of a dmu because some of its inputs/outputs may not contribute reasonably in computing the efficiency measure. traditionally, to overcome this problem weights restrictions have been imposed. but an approach for solving this problem by inclusion of some unobserved dmus, obtained via a process with four steps, has been proposed in 2004. these unobserved dmus are created by adjusting the output levels of certain observed relatively efficient dmus. the method used in this research is for dmus that are operating under a constant return to scale (crs) technology with a single input multi-output context. this method is implemented for 47 branches of bank maskan in northeast of tehran and the results will be analysed.

Improving envelopment in data envelopment analysis by means of unobserved DMUs: an application of banking industry

In data envelopment analysis, the relative efficiency of a decision making unit (DMU) is defined as the ratio of the sum of its weighted outputs to the sum of its weighted inputs allowing the DMUs to freely allocate weights to their inputs/outputs. However, this measure may not reflect a the true efficiency of a DMU because some of its inputs/outputs may not contribute reasonably in computing t...

Data Envelopment Analysis with Nonhomogeneous DMUs

Data envelopment analysis (DEA), as originally proposed, is a methodology for evaluating the relative efficiencies of a set of homogeneous decision-making units (DMUs) in the sense that each uses the same input and output measures (in varying amounts from one DMU to another). In some situations, however, the assumption of homogeneity among DMUs may not apply. As an example, consider the case wh...

Cost Efficiency Measures In Data Envelopment Analysis With Nonhomogeneous DMUs

In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA), it is assumed that all decision making units (DMUs) using the same input and output measures, means that DMUs are homogeneous. In some settings, however, this usual assumption of DEA might be violated. A related problem is the problem of textit{missing} textit{data} where a DMU produces a certain output or consumes a certain input but the val...
