Traditional DEA method is improper for supplier evaluation and selection, as it adopts varying weights in evaluation, and fails to consider competition among the suppliers. In order to solve these two problems, Nash bargaining game DEA model is applied to supplier evaluation in present paper. However, there is a non-uniqueness problem with Nash bargaining game efficiency of supplier in existing...

Abstract: The radial measures of classical DEA models (CCR, BCC) are incomplete, they are only separate measures of input and output efficiency and their efficiency index omit the non-zero input and output slacks. Enhanced Russell graph measure (ERM) eliminates these deficiencies. All of the existing fuzzy DEA models are extension of CCR or BCC model, efficiencies of DMUs, ultimately, are solut...

Airport efficiency is an area of increasing interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners. This has resulted in a body of literature applying various econometric techniques to compare efficiency between different samples of airports. This paper uses the multi-criteria decision making method Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to incorporate the weightings of input and output variables int...

As the efficiency measuring and analyzing is a crucial problem in modern enterprise management, this paper focuses on the problem of small and medium enterprise financing efficiency analyzing, and we proposed an improved DEA model based on stepwise regression to tackle this problem. Data envelopment analysis technology can calculate the efficiency of each decision making unit relative. Hence, D...

In this paper, we conduct simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of two alternative uses of the superefficiency procedure in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The first is for outlier identification and the second is for ranking efficient units. We find that the ranking procedure does not perform satisfactorily. In fact, the correlations between the true efficiency and the estimated ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method frequently used to evaluate relative firm performance. However, high values in a few indicators can lead to a company being regarded as ‘efficient’, despite valuing poorly in other essential indicators. The Inefficiency Countervailed DEA (IC-DEA) method is thus developed. The method first defines an inefficient frontier using the proposed Reverse DEA ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a representative method to estimate efficient frontiers and derive efficiency. However, in a situation with weight restrictions on individual input–output pairs, its suitability has been questioned. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical method, which we call the input-oriented ratio-based comparative efficiency model, DEA-R-I, ...

In the data envelopment analysis (DEA) literature, linear fractional non-cooperative network DEA models for two-stage network structures are often transformed into parametric linear models. The transformed parametric linear models are then solved by computing a series of linear models when the parameter is varied. For example, Wu, Zhu, Ji, Chu and Liang (2016) provide a linear fractional non-co...
