many studies have been conducted to determine the efficiency of two-stage network structures in the recent years. the two-stage network with additional inputs to the second stage, in which the second stage is independent of the first stage are one of these structures. thus, there is a need for a model capable of calculating the efficiency of two-stage structures as well as efficiency of each st...

4.30 The previous FSR underscored the importance of developing strong analytical methods that help better identify, monitor and address systemic linkages. To further study the linkages amongst the scheduled commercial banks, an Integrated Communication Technology (ICT) based network model has been developed to assess the degree of connectedness in the system and to analyse the possible domino i...
