Health care organizations must continuously improve their productivity to sustain long-term growth and profitability. Sustainable productivity performance is mostly assumed to be a natural outcome of successful health care management. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a popular mathematical programming method for comparing the inputs and outputs of a set of homogenous decision making units (DM...

This paper presents the results of an efficiency study of Colombian public universities in 2012, conducted using the methodology of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the models CCR, BCC and SBM under output orientation. The main objective is to determine technical, pure technical, scale and mix efficiencies using data acquired from the Ministry of National Education. An analysis of the result...

background: due to the increasing health care costs, the issue of productivity in hospitals must be taken into great consideration in order to provide, preserve and promote public health services. thus, increasing the level of productivity must become the main aim of any hospital. objective of this study is to determine the total factor productivity and its components over the period under the ...

The Malmquist productivity index evaluates the productivity change of a decision making unit (DMU) between two time periods. In this current study, a method is proposed to compute the Malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, the obtained Malmquist productivity index is compared with Malmquist produ...

Bankruptcy in the same amount of time and history is very rampant and therefore the vision of the future can be prevented. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and malmquist index can precise evaluating of the performances of many different kinds of decision making units (DMU) such as hospitals, universities, business firms, etc. In this paper, we will modify directional distance formulation o...

The productivity change of a decision making unit (DMU) between two time periods can be evaluated by the Malmquist productivity index. In this study, we propose a method to compute the Malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) on interval data in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, the obtained Malmquist productivity index is compared with Malm...

This paper analyses the productivity growth of the SUMA tax offices located in Spain evolved between 2004 and 2006 by using Malmquist Index based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. It goes a step forward by smoothed bootstrap procedure which improves the quality of the results by generalising the samples, so that the conclusions obtained from them can be applied in order to increase pro...

the malmquist productivity index evaluates the productivity change of a decision making unit (dmu) between two time periods. in this current study, a method is proposed to compute the malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) in data envelopment analysis (dea) and then, the obtained malmquist productivity index is compared with malmquist productiv...

This research paper investigates the cost efficiency and productivity of TEVETA institutes in Punjab, Pakistan using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) COST MALMQUIST INDEX. The study uses data from 2006-2018 to analyze impact reform 2011. objective is assess on production process. results indicate that reforms implemented Punjab have had a positive productivity. change, scale technical change all...

This paper talks about the measurement of efficiency and productivity of non-life insurance firms in India. This study is focused on twelve private non-life insurance firms and four public sector non-life insurance firms of India in the period 2008-09 to 2012-13. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) coupled with Malmquist productivity Index is used in measuring the efficiency as well as productivity...
