the cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. one of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. we are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

in this study, the relative performance of mazandaran wood and paper company as a major supplier of paper products in iran was measured. network data envelopment analysis (dea) models with parallel structure were used to evaluate and measure its performance. gams software version 23.4 was used for data analysis. results indicated that this company in all studied years had good performances base...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of different depths of irrigation by sprinkler irrigation system on water use efficiency (wue) of new early maize cultivar ksc302, an experiments was carried out in karj during 2006 and 2007. experimental design was split plot based on randomized complete blocks with three replications. main plots were three irrigation levels: 75%, 100% and 125% etc (es...

because of the piecewise linear nature of the data envelopment analysis (dea) frontier, the optimal multipliers of the dea models may not be unique. choosing weights from alternative optimal solutions of dual multiplier models is one of the most frequently studied subjects in the context of dea. in this paper, the authors have been inspired by the idea of cooper et al. (2011) to propose a linea...

data envelope analysis (dea) is an approach to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). several studies were conducted in order to prioritize efficient units and some useful models such as cross-efficiency matrix (cem) were presented.  besides, a number of dea models with interval data have been developed and ranking dmus with such data was solved. however, presenting a...

cross efficiency is a method with the idea of peer evaluation instead of self-evaluation, and is used for evaluation and ranking decision making units (dmus) in data envelopment analysis (dea). unlike most existing dea ranking models which can only rank a subset of dmus, for example non-efficient or extreme efficient dmus, cross efficiency can rank all dmus, even non-extreme ones. however, sinc...

As we know, in evaluating of DMUs some of them might be efficient, so ranking of them have a high significant. One of the ranking methods is cross-efficiency. Cross efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a commonly used skill for ranking decision making units (DMUs). Since, many studies ignore the intra-organizational communication and consider DMUs as a black box. For sign...

The cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. One of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. We are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

This paper introduces a series of new concepts under the name Economic Cross-Efficiency, which is rendered operational through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) techniques. To achieve this goal, from theoretical perspective, we connect two key topics in efficiency literature that have been unrelated until now: economic and cross-efficiency. In particular, it shown that, input (output) homothetici...
