Measuring the efficiency of Iranian electricity distribution companies, a combined approach to bargaining game with DEA

Authors

Abstract:

 Many models have been proposed for measuring performance of business agencies up to now. The goal of this research is providing a new approach for evaluation and measurement of efficiencies of national power distribution companies. This approach is provided as a combination of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Game Theory for evaluation of decision-making units by a large scale of actions. In the case study pertaining to Classic DEA models, decision-making units are often exggeratedly considered as efficient units. For removing this problem and decreasing the number of variables, bargaining game as a collaborative one is combined with DEA model. The results of standard efficiency indicate that 27 out of 39 studied companies have efficiency of 100%. Despite Classic DEA, in which many companies are efficient, the combination method distinguishes optimal scores of companies and assigns different ranks to them. The results show that standard efficiency performances of companies have been averagely promoted up to 7.2% by output increment and up to 6.8% by decrement of inputs. Also, the results of combination of bargaining game and DEA show that distribution companies in Tabriz, Fars, Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, and Kohkiluyeh & Buyerahmad provinces occupy the first five ranks, and West Azarbayjan, Gilan, and Hamedan occupy the lowest ranks.

Robust DEA under discrete uncertain data: a case study of Iranian electricity distribution companies

Crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA). However, the real-world problems often deal with imprecise or ambiguous data. In this paper, we propose a novel robust data envelopment model (RDEA) to investigate the efficiencies of decision-making units (DMU) when there are discrete uncertain input and output data. The method is based ...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
