[ 1 ] - Obtaining a Unique Solution for the Cross Efficiency by Using the Lexicographic method

Cross efficiency is a method with the idea of peer evaluation instead of self-evaluation, and is used for evaluation and ranking Decision Making Units (DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Unlike most existing DEA ranking models which can only rank a subset of DMUs, for example non-efficient or extreme efficient DMUs, cross efficiency can rank all DMUs, even non-extreme ones. However, sinc...

[ 2 ] - Estimating Most Productive Scale Size of the provinces of Iran in the Employment sector using Interval data in Imprecise Data Envelopment Analysis(IDEA)

Unemployment is one of the most important economic problems in Iran, so that many of its managers plan to increase employment rates. Increasing the employment rate needs to increase economic productivity which DEA is one of the most appropriate evaluation methods for estimating the productivity of similar organizations. Employment in the amount of data input and output can be just interval. In ...

[ 3 ] - Entropy based Malmquist Productivity Index in Data Envelopment Analysis

Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is one of the most famous indices, which is used for estimating the productivity change of a Decision Making Unit (DMU) during the time. Virtually any empirical study that uses MPI, reports average of the productivity indices they estimate to represent the overall tendency in productivity changes. In such a case, productivity indices of a DMU are considered wi...

[ 4 ] - Technically Efficient Targets for the Groups by Using the Centralized Scenario and Enhanced Russell Measure

Cooper et al. [Efficiency aggregation with enhanced Russell measures in data envelopment analysis, Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 41 (2007) 1–21] presented a method for measuring aggregate efficiency, using the enhanced Russell measure. In that paper, they posed questions and opened the way for new opportunities for studying and extending the proposed method and some other related fields. On...

[ 5 ] - The Presentation of an Approach of Evaluation and Ranking in Data Envelopment Analysis with Interval Data: a Case Study in the Evaluation and Ranking of Iran’s Provinces in the Health and Treatment Sector

Today, in every society the health and treatment sector are among the most important service sectors. Therefore, it is crucial that their performance be evaluated and examined. Although the researchers have proposed many different approaches to evaluate and rank the health sectors, no precise approach for evaluating and ranking have been reported up to now. Assessing the coefficient of variatio...
