The ratio definition of efficiency has the form of a productivity measure. But the weights are endogenous variables and they do not function as weights in a productivity index proper. It is shown that extended Farrell measures of efficiency can all be given an interpretation as productivity...

The distinction between the concepts outputs and outcomes can be made operational based on the consideration of the degree of control a public service producer has over its production activity. Resources are transformed into service outputs under the control of the organisation in question,...

Firstly, we discuss differences between Farrell and Pareto-Koopmans efficiency measures in DEA, and propose a composite method for discriminating them. Then, we extend the method to so-called “epsilon based-measure (EBM).” The EBM can examine the robustness and stability of efficiency...
