Within the framework of data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology, the problem of
determining the closest targets on the efficient frontier is receiving increased attention from …

This paper proposes slacks-based measure (SBM) data envelopment analysis (DEA)
models that handle negative data. Unlike existing negative data allowable DEA models, the …

Abstract Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is extended to the evaluation of performance of
organizations within the framework of the implementation of plans for improvements that set …

In this paper we use data from OECD countries participating in PISA 2012 to assess the
efficiency of schools in a cross-country framework. In the analysis, and in contrast to …

This book is the result of the theoretical and empirical research that the authors have
undertaken throughout their careers on the topic of economic and productive efficiency …

In the non-radial efficiency measurement literature, it is common to estimate technical (in)
efficiency by maximising weighted slacks primarily from the computational viewpoint. This …

We propose a class of nonlinear data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, including
variants of the Russell graph measure (RM), BRWZ measure, slack-based measure (SBM) …

In this paper, a new stepwise benchmarking approach is presented. It is based on the
concept of efficiency field potential given by a continuous and differentiable function that …

Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models mainly set the furthest targets as the
frontier projection for inefficient decision-making units (DMUs). To achieve the efficient status …

The efficiency calculated from the conventional slacks-based measure (SBM) model is the
minimum in terms of efficiency scores, and the corresponding target point requires more …
