In today's world, all firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions are coming under increasing public scrutiny. This is especially true for large companies whose decisions can and do have impact on society. Public service advertisements (PSAs), a mass-media approach, are advertisements...

Pareto-Koopmans efficiency in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is extended to stochastic inputs and outputs via probabilistic input-output vector comparisons in a given empirical production (possibility) set. In contrast to other approaches which have used Chance Constrained Programming...

This paper presents stochasticmodels in data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the possibilityof variations in inputs and outputs. Efficiency measure of adecision making unit (DMU) is defined via joint probabilisticcomparisons of inputs and outputs with other DMUs and can becharacterized by solving...
