background hospitals are highly resource-dependent settings, which spend a large proportion of healthcare financial resources. the analysis of hospital efficiency can provide insight into how scarce resources are used to create health values. this study examines the technical efficiency (te) of 12 teaching hospitals affiliated with tehran university of medical sciences (tums) between 1999 and 2...

The aim of this study is to investigate the context by which veterinary services may affect technical efficiency (TE) of Iranian dairy farms. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied to a random sample of 840 dairy farms from six provinces across Iran to estimate regional frontier and metafrontier production functions and also to calculate corresponding TE of these farms. The relationship ...

considering the efficiency studies play a role in making available the revise in relative importance, policy reforms and resource management, this study has been accomplished in fish beach seine cooperative companies located in golestan province and used dea approach to measure the technical efficiency (te) and factor effects. the survey data were gathered from 20 farms, which selected via cens...

the aim of this paper is to use the concept of the metafrontier function to study the determination of efficiency differentials and technological gap ratio (tgr) on wheat production in khorasan razavi province. in this study, we used the metafrontier function and group frontier based on the concept of stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data analysis (stoned). the data used in this study co...

The aim of this paper is to use the concept of the metafrontier function to study the determination of efficiency differentials and Technological Gap Ratio (TGR) on wheat production in Khorasan Razavi province. In this study, we used the metafrontier function and group frontier based on the concept of Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data analysis (StoNED). The data used in this stud...

This paper applied a non-parametric (Data Envelopment Analysis) method to analyze the efficiency of farmers, discriminate efficient farmers from inefficient ones and to identify wasteful uses of energy in order to optimize the energy inputs for greenhouse cucumber production in Lorestan province of Iran. Data were collected from 27 cucumber producers by using a face-to-face questionnaire.DEA cr...

in this study, farm level technical efficiency (te) and its determinants were investigated. a stochastic cobb-douglas (cd) production frontier was used to provide estimates of input-oriented te for a sample of 100 rain fed farms in two palestinian governorates. empirical findings showed that the estimated te of the farms in the pooled sample ranged from 35.7 to 95.6%, with a mean value of 72.2%...
