This paper develops a new Luenberger productivity which is applied to a technology where the desirable and undesirable outputs are jointly produced and are possibly negative. The components of this Luenberger productivity index - the efficiency change and the components of the technological...

The recent contribution by Cheng et al. (2013) presents a variant of the traditional radial input- and output-oriented efficiency measures whereby original values are replaced with absolute values. This comment spells out that this article contains some imprecisions and therefore presents some...

This thesis examines banking efficiency and the productivity of thirteentransition Central and Eastern European banking systems during 1998-2003 usingData Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It proposes a non-parametric methodology fornon-radial Russell output efficiency measure of banking firms,...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear programming methodology to evaluate the relative technical efficiency for each member of a set of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. It has been widely used to measure performance in many areas. A weakness of...
