Bogetoft, Peter; Bramsen, Jens-Martin; Nielsen, Kurt - In: International Journal of Business Performance Management 8 (2006) 4, pp. 274-289

We suggest a decision support approach, Balanced Benchmarking that combines Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Interactive Benchmarking. A successful BSC implementation requires a theoretical and operational sound foundation for the key measures. This foundation may be constructed using Interactive...

Borda and Condorcet: Some Distance Results

Klamler, Christian - In: Theory and Decision 59 (2005) 2, pp. 97-109

This paper provides a distance based analysis of the Borda rule with respect to Condorcetâ€™s criterion. It shows that the minimal Condorcet consistency present in the Borda rule, whenever a Condorcet winner (the alternative that wins against every other alternative in a pairwise contest)...

Hyperbolic Efficiency and Parametric Distance Functions: With Application to Spanish Savings Banks

Cuesta, Rafael; Zofío, José - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 24 (2005) 1, pp. 31-48

Distance functions are gaining relevance as alternative representations of production technologies, with growing … numbers of empirical applications being made in the productivity and efficiency field. Distance functions were initially …, different techniques such as non parametric-DEA and parametric-SFA have been used to calculate these distance functions. However …

The Copeland rule and Condorcet’s principle

Klamler, Christian - In: Economic Theory 25 (2005) 3, pp. 745-749

The purpose of this note is to shed some light on the relationship between the Copeland rule and the Condorcet principle in those cases where there does not exist a Condorcet winner. It will be shown that the Copeland rule ranks alternatives according to their distances to being a Condorcet...

Transitive closure, proximity and intransitivities

Baigent, Nick; Klamler, Christian - In: Economic Theory 23 (2003) 1, pp. 175-181

Assignments of weak orders to complete binary relations are considered. Firstly, it is shown that assigning the transitive closure of a complete binary relation does not always assign the closest weak order according to any reasonable metric on complete binary relations. It is then shown that...
