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...

in this research, efficiency of iranian forest and rangeland decision making unit was assessed using non-parametric method. inputs and outputs determined by field research and with applying a delphi method the final input and output variables selected. forty five wood-producing units (forestry plans) in three northern iranian province were studied using data envelopment analysis. the efficiency...

this study investigates issues on efficiency and elasticity of broiler production in peninsular malaysia. data from 296 broiler farms were subjected to sfa, dea and bootstrap methods for technical efficiency; translog and tobit regression analyses to estimate elasticity of production and determinants of efficiency respectively in broiler production. we found that farmers produce mean efficiency...

the theoretical base of this paper is the economic growth model that completed with capital stocks (private and public) and human capital. at the first, hypothesis test about constant returns to scale is studied, and then the related variables with macroeconomic policies are added to the model. the results show that 1) the aggregate production function exhibits increasing returns to scale, 2) p...
