Sensitivity analysis in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is studied for the case of the proportionate change of a subset of outputs or/and of a subset of inputs of an efficient decision making unit (DMU) according to the Charnes–Cooper–Rhodes (CCR) ratio model. Sufficient conditions for an efficient DMU to preserve its efficiency under the proportionate change of a subset of inputs or/and of out...

Background Previous studies have demonstrated that an increase in extracellular volume measured on MRI is directly proportionate to myocardial fibrosis. Myocardial extracellular volume is proportionate to partition coefficient (l) and extracellular volume = l × (1-hematocrit). l can be measured by assessing the T1 relaxation time before and after injection of contrast medium. The goal of this s...

I extend the general equilibrium techniques that have been applied to proportionate taxes to analyze the economic impact of non-proportionate taxes, including those with such commonly observed features as loss disallowances and progressivity. I analogize proportionate taxes to financial forwards and more general taxes to structured financial options. Option pricing theory and methods carry over...
