In this paper, most productive scale size (MPSS) for input and output mixes is measured from pessimistic point of view by using pessimistic data envelopment analysis (DEA). It is proved that the decision making unit (DMU) with the maximum pessimistic efficiency represents MPSS. However, the...

This study provides a no-output growth model to conveniently calculate the total-factor energy efficiency (TFEE) index originally proposed by Hu and Wang (2006). The TFEE index serves as a very well-known and popular means of estimating overall energy efficiency. While many previous studies have...

Purpose – The main purpose of the present study is to develop appropriate construct to benchmark occupational health and safety performance in industrial setting so that deficiencies can be highlighted and possible strategies can be evolved to improve the performance....

Purpose – The main purpose of the present study is to develop an integrated approach combining data envelopment analysis (DEA) and neural network (NN) for assessment and prediction of performance of Indian B‐schools for effective decision making as error and biasness due to human...
