in the present study an attempt has been made to use a non-parametric method data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing source-wise and operation-wise the technical efficiency (te) and return-to-scale (rts) for paddy production in four zones of the state of punjab, india. the results were then compared to corresponding ones already obtained from a parametric method (cobb-douglas production f...

This paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the technical, pure technical, and scale efficiencies of 12 branches of the agricultural bank in Guilan province, Iran over the period of 2012-2016. The first results indicated that scale inefficiency contributed more to overall technical inefficiency than pure technical inefficiency over the studied period. Results of return to scale r...

in this paper, non parametric data envelopment analysis (dea) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in punjab state, india, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. the main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...

Low efficiency has been the bottleneck that is hindering agricultural products logistics to play the role in improving economic and social development. But relevant research achievements are not many. This paper studies agricultural products logistics efficiency from 2008 to 2011 in China based on DEA and Malmquist index and finds that during later period of study, the total factor productivity...

This study employs data envelopment analysis approach to construct the meta-frontier global technical efficiency of energy use index and global technical efficiency of CO2 emission control index to measure the energy use efficiency and CO2 emission control efficiency at country level. Destruction of these efficiency indices into pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency sub-indices is to c...

The study employs data envelopment analysis to a panel of commercial banks operating in Pakistan for a period 2001 – 2008 in order to measure the technical efficiency of banks. Technical efficiency is then broken down into pure technical and scale components. We divide banks into three categories for analytical purposes: state owned banks, domestic private banks and foreign owned banks. We find...

To cope with changes in industrial concentration, consumer preferences, more stringent meat safety measures by the governmental agencies, and the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement and the North America Free Trade Agreement, companies in the U.S. meat industry need to attain as high levels of technical efficiency as possible. The purpose of the study is three-fold: (1) measure the level of pure t...

in the present study, an attempt has been made to use data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing the technical efficiency and return-to-scale for greenhouse cucumber production in iran. for this purpose, the data from greenhouses in esfahan province, during one period of plant cultivation in one year including spring plants were randomly collected. the results indicated that total input ener...
