Abstract:

One of the major problems in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is to determine the projection of inefficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) into the efficient frontier. In conventional DEA models, inputs and outputs of inefficient DMUs alter arbitrarily for reaching to the efficient frontier. Nevertheless, sometimes the ability of DMUs is defined and restricted. Moreover, there are situations in the real world applications that limited resources exist. Therefore, in these cases inputs and outputs cannot vary irrationally. Actually, there are pre-specified alteration levels of inputs and outputs. For this purpose, the current study proposes DEA-based models, radial and non-radial models, to evaluate the relative efficiency of DMUs with restricted input and output variables. Furthermore, non-radial super-efficiency models are extended for ranking efficient DMUs. An example from the banking sector is used to illustrate the proposed approach.

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 Non-radial Approach for Setting Integer-valued Targets in Data Envelopment Analysis

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely studied in the literature since its inception with Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes work in 1978. The methodology behind the classical DEA method is to determine how much improvements in the outputs (inputs) dimensions is necessary in order to render them efficient. One of the underlying assumptions of this methodology is that the units consume and prod...
