Since the original Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) study by Charnes et al. [Measuring the efficiency of decision-making units. European Journal of Operational Research 1978;2(6):429–44], there has been rapid and continuous growth in the field. As a result, a considerable amount of published research has appeared, with a significant portion focused on DEA applications of efficiency and productivity in both public and private sector activities. While several bibliographic collections have been reported, a comprehensive listing and analysis of DEA research covering its first 30 years of history is not available.This paper thus presents an extensive, if not nearly complete, listing of DEA research covering theoretical developments as well as “real-world” applications from inception to the year 2007.A listing of the most utilized/relevant journals, a keyword analysis, and selected statistics are presented. 相似文献

Combining DEA Window Analysis with the Malmquist Index Approach in a Study of the Canadian Banking Industry 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The banking industry in Canada is essentially an oligopoly with five large participants controlling about 90% of the market. To evaluate the industry's performance over time, we need to deal with the problem of a small number of DMU's compared to the number of relevant inputs and outputs. To overcome this problem we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) window analysis, whereby efficiency scores for the 20 year period 1981–2000 are obtained. To measure productivity changes over time, Malmquist indices can be calculated from DEA scores. Using DEA window analysis scores, however, raise the question of how to define the same period frontier in a DEA window analysis. We show that for both the adjacent and the base period Malmquist index and for all suggested definitions of same period frontier, the standard decomposition into frontier shift and catching up effects gives inappropriate results when Malmquist indices are based on DEA window analysis scores. 相似文献

Measures in DEA with an Application to the Malmquist Index 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
This paper shows the importance of goal vectors G in measuring and dealing with DEA inefficiencies. It emphasizes the advantages of the family of additive relative to the traditional oriented DEA models and shifts the primary emphasis to measuring inefficiency rather than efficiency. This new (raw) inefficiency measure RIN incorporates both the traditional DEA efficiency and the DEA slacks and provides the background for a new approach to the Malmquist Index. The final section points out some deficiencies in existing computational procedures for selecting G and calls for continued research on the selection process, as well as showing a role for G in returns to scale studies. 相似文献

Measuring productive efficiency is an important research strand within fields of economics, management science and operations research. One definition of efficiency is the proportional scaling needed for observations of inefficient units to be projected onto an efficient production function and another definition is a ratio index of weighted outputs on weighted inputs. When linear programming is used to estimate efficiency the two definitions give identical results due to the fundamental duality of linear programming. Empirical applications of DEA using linear programming showed a prevalence of zero weights leading to questioning the consequence for the efficiency score estimate based on the ratio definition. Early literature on weight restrictions is exclusively based on the ratio efficiency. It was stated that variables with zero weights had no influence on the efficiency score, in spite of the alleged importance of the variables. This has been one motivation for introducing restrictions on weights. Another empirical result was that often there were too many efficient units. This problem could also be overcome by introducing weight restrictions. Weight restrictions were said to introduce values for inputs and outputs. The paper makes a critical examinations of these claims based on defining efficiency relative to a frontier production function. 相似文献

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) applications frequently involve nonsubstitutable inputs and nonsubstitutable outputs (that
is, fixed proportion technologies). However, DEA theory requires substitutability. In this paper, we illustrate the consequences
of nonsubstitutability on DEA efficiency estimates, and we develop new efficiency indicators that are similar to those of
conventional DEA models except that they require nonsubstitutability. Then, using simulated and real-world datasets that encompass
fixed proportion technologies, we compare DEA efficiency estimates with those of the new indicators. The examples demonstrate
that DEA efficiency estimates are biased when inputs and outputs are nonsubstitutable. The degree of bias varies considerably
among Decision Making Units, resulting in substantial differences in efficiency rankings between DEA and the new measures.
And, over 90% of the units that DEA identifies as efficient are, in truth, not efficient. We conclude that when inputs and
outputs are not substituted for either technological or other reasons, conventional DEA models should be replaced with models
that account for nonsubstitutability. 相似文献

DEA, DFA and SFA: A comparison 总被引:1,自引:5,他引:1

The nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) model has become increasingly popular in the analysis of productive efficiency, and the number of empirical applications is now very large. Recent theoretical and mathematical research has also contributed to a deeper understanding of the seemingly simple but inherently complex DEA model. Less effort has, however, been directed toward comparisons between DEA and other competing efficiency analysis models. This paper undertakes a comparison of the DEA, the deterministic parametric (DFA), and the stochastic frontier (SFA) models. Efficiency comparisons across models in the above categories are done based on 15 Colombian cement plants observed during 1968–1988. 相似文献

This paper presents two applications of rank statistics to evaluate efficiency performance trends using productive efficiency measures derived through various Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. The paper starts with a discussion of the difficulties in obtaining consistent ranks from DEA efficiency ratings. Next, a procedure is proposed to identify intertemporal performance trends using any one of several possible efficiency measures. Another procedure is then developed to test the stability over time of the rank positions of the analyzed units. For each statistical procedure, a small numerical example involving DEA efficiency measures is provided to illustrate the proposed technique. Finally, the new procedures are applied to data reflecting the macro-economic performance of 17 OECD nations in 1979–1988. The outcomes of the application are discussed and contrasted with previous research in this area. 相似文献

There are two main methods for measuring the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs): data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. DEA is more popular in the literature due to its simplicity, as it does not require any pre-assumption and can be used for measuring the efficiency of DMUs with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, whereas SFA is a parametric approach that is applicable to multiple inputs and a single output. Since many applied studies feature multiple output variables, SFA cannot be used in such cases. In this research, a unique method to transform multiple outputs to a virtual single output is proposed. We are thus able to obtain efficiency scores from calculated virtual single output by the proposed method that are close (or even the same depending on targeted parameters at the expense of computation time and resources) to the efficiency scores obtained from multiple outputs of DEA. This will enable us to use SFA with a virtual single output. The proposed method is validated using a simulation study, and its usefulness is demonstrated with real application by using a hospital dataset from Turkey. 相似文献

Traditionally, data envelopment analysis (DEA) requires all decision-making units (DMUs) to have similar characteristics and experiences within the same external conditions. In many cases, this assumption fails to hold, and thus, difficulties will be encountered to some extent when measuring efficiency with a standard DEA model. Ideally, the performance of DMUs with different characteristics could be examined using the DEA meta-frontier framework. However, some of these DMUs are mixed-type DMUs that may affiliate with more than one group. Furthermore, the total number of observations of these mixed-type DMUs is limited. This is one of the common problems when studies focus on faculty research performance in higher education institutions. In general, a faculty member is affiliated with a certain department, and if the departmental assessment policy is not suitable for faculty members who are involved in interdisciplinary research, their performance could be underestimated. Therefore, the proposed model is an extension of the DEA meta-frontier framework that can assess the performance of mixed-type DMUs by constructing the reference set without the same type of DMUs. In this paper, the scientific research efficiency of faculty members at the Inner Mongolia University is used as an example to provide a better understanding of the proposed model. The proposed model is intended to provide a fair and balanced performance assessment method that reflects actual performance, especially for mixed-type DMUs. 相似文献

This research applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology to evaluate the efficiency of units within a large-scale network of petroleum distribution facilities in the USA. Multiple inputs and outputs are incorporated into a broad set of DEA models, yielding a comprehensive approach to evaluating supply chain efficiency. This study empirically separates three recognized, important and yet different causes of performance shortfalls which have been generally difficult for managers to identify. They are: (1) managerial effectiveness; (2) scale of operations and potential for a given market area (and efficiency of resource allocation given the scale); and (3) understanding the resource heterogeneity via programmatic differences in efficiency. Overall, the efficiency differences identified raised insightful questions regarding top management’s selection of the appropriate form and type of inputs and outputs, as well as questions regarding the DEA model form selected. 相似文献

Environmental issues are becoming more and more important in our everyday life. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a tool developed for measuring relative operational efficiency. DEA can also be employed to estimate environmental efficiency where undesirable outputs like greenhouse gases exist. The classical DEA method identifies best practices among a given empirical data set. In many situations, however, it is advantageous to determine the worst practices and perform efficiency evaluation by comparing DMUs with the full-inefficient frontier. This strategy requires that the conventional production possibility set is defined from a reverse perspective. In this paper, presence of both desirable and undesirable outputs is assumed and a methodological framework for performing an unbiased efficiency analysis is proposed. The reverse production possibility set is defined and new models are presented regarding the full-inefficient frontier. The operational, environmental and overall reverse efficiencies are studied. The important notion of weak disposability is discussed and the effects of this assumption on the proposed models are investigated. The capability of the proposed method is examined using data from a real-world application about paper production. 相似文献

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to evaluate the relative technical efficiency and assist in the management of a chain of nursing homes. As with any DEA model, variables chosen are particularly important. The study looks at two possibly critical issues. The first is the appropriateness of models that include only financial and economic measures to evaluate administrators when quality care is an expected output. The second issue is the appropriateness of using noncontrollable variables, in this case operating income, to evaluate administrators. We show how efficiency scores differ when quality variables and/or operating income are included. We also demonstrate the usefulness of DEA information to both the home administrator and chain managers for improving operating efficiency. 相似文献

Performance evaluation for universities or research institutions has become a hot topic in recent years. However, the previous works rarely investigate the multiple departments’ performance of a university, and especially, none of them consider the non-homogeneity among the universities’ departments. In this paper, we develop data envelopment analysis (DEA) models to evaluate the performance of general non-homogeneous decision making units (DMUs) with two-stage network structures and then apply them to a university in China. Specifically, the first stage is faculty research process, and the second stage is student research process. We first spit each DMU (i.e. department) into a combination of several mutually exclusive maximal input subgroups and output subgroups in terms of their homogeneity in both stages. Then an additive DEA model is proposed to evaluate the performance of the overall efficiency of the non-homogeneous DMUs with two-stage network structure. By analyzing the empirical results, some implications are provided to support the university to promote the research performance of each department as well as the whole university. 相似文献

This paper covers some of the past accomplishments of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) and some of its future prospects. It
starts with the “engineering-science” definitions of efficiency and uses the duality theory of linear programming to show
how, in DEA, they can be related to the Pareto–Koopmans definitions used in “welfare economics” as well as in the economic
theory of production. Some of the models that have now been developed for implementing these concepts are then described and
properties of these models and the associated measures of efficiency are examined for weaknesses and strengths along with
measures of distance that may be used to determine their optimal values. Relations between the models are also demonstrated
en route to delineating paths for future developments. These include extensions to different objectives such as “satisfactory”
versus “full” (or “strong”) efficiency. They also include extensions from “efficiency” to “effectiveness” evaluations of performances
as well as extensions to evaluate social-economic performances of countries and other entities where “inputs” and “outputs”
give way to other categories in which increases and decreases are located in the numerator or denominator of the ratio (=engineering-science)
definition of efficiency in a manner analogous to the way output (in the numerator) and input (in the denominator) are usually
positioned in the fractional programming form of DEA. Beginnings in each of these extensions are noted and the role of applications
in bringing further possibilities to the fore is highlighted.

We propose a new mathematical model for efficiency analysis, which combines DEA methodology with an old idea—Ratio Analysis. Our model, called DEA-R, treats all possible ratios “output/input” as outputs within the standard DEA model. Although DEA and DEA-R generate different summary measures for efficiency, the two measures are comparable. Our mathematical and empirical comparisons establish the validity of DEA-R model in its own right. The key advantage of DEA-R over DEA is that it allows effective integration of the model with experts’ opinions via flexible restrictive conditions on individual “output/input” pairs. 相似文献

This paper uses “double DEA” to assess how accounting for quality influences DEA technical efficiency scores of a sample of 1,074 US hospitals. In the first use of DEA, quality indices are estimated using a variety of process and outcome measures of quality. In the second use of DEA, technical efficiency is assessed while controlling for quality. A variety of DEA quality indices and a DEA variety of efficiency models are compared to determine how the treatment of quality influences findings regarding technical efficiency. Controlling for efficiency does matter, with outcome measures having an apparently greater impact than process measures. Given the call for improved quality and better cost containment, controlling for quality is an important contribution to efficiency analysis. 相似文献
