This paper aims to assess and compare the relative efficiency of commercial banks in six Western Balkan developing countries (North Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), Kosovo1, and Albania), using the leading nonparametric methodology Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for...

There are some specific features of the non-radial DEA (data envelopment analysis) models which cause some problems under the returns to scale measurement. In the scientific literature on DEA, some methods were suggested to deal with the returns to scale measurement in the non-radial DEA models....

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is often used by regulators to create a pseudo-competitive environment for sectors with natural monopolies. In addition to develop a theoretically well-behaved model, regulators need to take into account several other factors, such as the political agenda and the...

This paper applies a data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to assess technical efficiency of both private and public universities in Italy. Moving from the traditional context where inputs and outputs are assumed to be non-negative, a directional distance function approach has been applied in...

A technique used to assess relative performance in a multiple input–output framework is data envelopment analysis (DEA). In basic DEA models, an entity may show its best performance by selecting input and output factor weights different from those selected by the other entities in the sample....

There are some specific features of the non-radial DEA (data envelopment analysis) models which cause some problems under the returns to scale measurement. In the scientific literature on DEA, some methods were suggested to deal with the returns to scale measurement in the non-radial DEA models....

Environmental assessment recently becomes a major policy issue all over the world. This study discusses how to use Data Environment Analysis (DEA) for environmental assessment for planning corporate strategy and international competitiveness. An important feature of DEA environmental assessment...

This paper investigates the production efficiency of 12 European banking systems over the period 1997–2004, taking into account possible technology heterogeneity. Using a non-parametric metafrontier framework, efficiency and metatechnology ratio measures are computed and decomposed into input-...

This study proposes a use of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for environmental assessment. All radial and non-radial models are discussed under natural and managerial disposability. The natural disposability implies corporate strategy by which a firm attempts to decrease an input vector to...

In this paper we propose an approach for compute performance of a decision making unit (DMU) in allocation fuzzy cost. If cost is not precisely defined, so we could consider it as fuzzy number, and if each DMU has other cost inputs then fuzzy cost must be combine with other cost measures. Based...
