Methodological Advances in DEA: A survey and an application for the Dutch electricity sector

We survey the methodological advances in DEA over the last 25 years and discuss the necessary conditions for a sound empirical application. We hope this survey will contribute to the further dissemination of DEA, the knowledge of its relative strengths and weaknesses, and the tools currently available for exploiting its full potential. Our main points are illustrated by the case of the DEA study used by the regulatory office of the Dutch electricity sector (Dienst Toezicht Elektriciteitswet; Dte) for setting price caps.     

某面板堆石坝沉降观测资料反馈分析

根据某面板堆石坝施工期、蓄水初期以及几年来的沉降观测资料，对坝体填筑材料计算参数进行反馈分析，得出了能够反映坝体实际变形的弹塑性应力变形计算参数，有利于今后建立大坝变形预报模型，更准确地把握大坝实时运行状态。

我国旅游地区收入分析及对策探讨

旅游收入是旅游经济活动的重要内容，它一方面反映了旅游者的旅游需求通过旅游经营者的旅游供给而不断得到满足，另一方面又体现着旅游产业部门和企业在产经营活动的价值运行与价值实现。旅游收入与分配是旅游经济运行的前提，对其进行考察分析，是十分重要的。本章从收入和分配两个方面入手，对旅游收入分类、指标、旅游企业收入和分配以及旅游收入乘数的作用等进行了分析和阐述。

滑坡相似材料试验结果优化分析研究

在运用模糊综合评判确定的滑坡相似材料试验配合比隶属度基础上，利用方差分析确定各因素的数学优化区间，结合变量有上下界的改进单纯形法，获得技术，经济上的最佳配合比，克服了统计优化理论不能在连续区间寻优的缺点，这对从事滑坡相似材料试验研究具有一定的实际意义。     

Identifying “best” applicants in recruiting using data envelopment analysis

Selecting the most promising candidates to fill an open position can be a difficult task when there are many applicants. Each applicant achieves certain performance levels in various categories and the resulting information can be overwhelming. We demonstrate how data envelopment analysis (DEA) can be used as a fair screening and sorting tool to support the candidate selection and decision-making process. Each applicant is viewed as an entity with multiple achievements. Without any a priori preference or information on the multiple achievements, DEA identifies the non-dominated solutions, which, in our case, represent the “best” candidates. A DEA-aided recruiting process was developed that (1) determines the performance levels of the “best” candidates relative to other applicants; (2) evaluates the degree of excellence of “best” candidates’ performance; (3) forms consistent tradeoff information on multiple recruiting criteria among search committee members, and, then, (4) clusters the applicants.     

土石过水围堰过水期最不利工况及其流量确定

本文系统分析了影响土石过水围堰溢流工况的主要因素，提出衡量最不利工况的指标和确定员不利流量的方法，为土石过水围堰堰体下游护坡结构及消能防冲设施设计提供了理论依据。通过理论计算结果与模型试验现场观测资料数据对比分析，说明提出的过水期最不利流量判别方法是符合实际情况的。     

Nonparametric Dynamic Production Analysis and the Theory of Cost

While the dynamic theory of production provides little insight towards identifying a specific functional form for the firm's technology, dynamic production analysis has been explored traditionally in a parametric framework. A nonparametric dynamic dual cost approach to production analysis is developed in this article. Recovering technological information from intertemporal cost minimizing behavior is possible without imposing a parametric functional form on the firm's technology. Nonparametric tests to analyze the structure of a dynamic technology are presented from a dynamic cost minimizing perspective. The empirical implementation of these tests is illustrated for a balanced panel data set of Pennsylvania dairy operators during the time period 1986–1992.
