In a recent paper on measuring efficiency of hospitals by Al‐Shammari a set of 15 hospitals were compared across three years with respect to multiple inputs and outputs. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was utilized in the evaluation process. The results of this study provide some very useful...

This paper seeks to measure and evaluate the productive efficiency of health‐care organizations (hospitals) using a multicriteria Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology. DEA is a special linear programming model for deriving the comparative efficiency of multiple‐input multiple‐output...

In this paper, the anchor points in DEA, as an important subset of the set of extreme efficient points of the production possibility set (PPS), are studied. A basic definition, utilizing the multiplier DEA models, is given. Then, two theorems are proved which provide necessary and sufficient...

This article studies the influence of risk on farms’ technical efficiency levels. The analysis extends the order-m efficiency scores approach proposed by Daraio and Simar (2005) to the state-contingent framework. The empirical application focuses on cross section data of Catalan specialized...

A problem of increasing the efficiencies of inefficient decision-making units (DMUs) with known marginal costs of reducing inputs is considered. It is shown that the problem is difficult to solve exactly, and has exponential computational complexity. Two heuristics (Heuristic-I and Heuristic-II)...

The data envelopment analysis (DEA) model was used to estimate the technical efficiency (TE) scores, the Malmquist total factor productivity (TFP) indices, and their implicit input shadow shares for 12 irrigation districts in Southern Alberta using data for the period 2008–12. The main purpose...
