Estimating Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable Factors in Data Envelopment Analysis

estimating returns to scale in the presence of undesirable factors in data envelopment analysis

this research identifies returns to scale (rts) of efficient decision making units (dmus) with desirable (good) and undesirable (bad) inputs and outputs by presenting a new dea (data envelopment analysis) approach. in this study, we first introduce a new input-output oriented model to determine efficient dmus in the presence of undesirable factors and then, returns to scale of these dmus are es...

Developing a Data Envelopment Analysis Methodology for Supplier Selection in the Presence of Fuzzy Undesirable Factors

Creating Full Envelopment in Data Envelopment Analysis with Variable Returns to Scale Technology

In this paper, weak defining hyperplanes and the anchor points in DEA, as an important subset of the set of extreme efficient points of the Production Possibility Set (PPS), are used to construct unobserved DMUs and in the long run to improve the envelopment of all observed DMUs. There has been a surge of articles on improving envelopment in recent years. What has been done first is in Constant...

Estimation of Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable (bad) Outputs in DEA when the Firm is Regulated

The calculation of RTS amounts to measuring a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many methods to measure RTS in the primal space or the dual space. One of the main approaches is using the multiplier on the convexity constraint. But returns to scale measurements in DEA models are affected by the presence of regulatory constraints. These additional constr...
