This study systematically summarizes previous research efforts on Data Envelopment
Analysis (DEA) applied to energy and environment in the past four decades, including …

This paper discusses the mathematical programming approach to frontier estimation known
as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). We examine the effect of model orientation on the …

The pursuit of organizational efficiency has become something of an obsession for the
modern manager. However, managers interested in identifying efficient practice have few …

Many papers have regressed non-parametric estimates of productive efficiency on
environmental variables in two-stage procedures to account for exogenous factors that might …

This book presents a mathematical programming approach to the analysis of production
frontiers and efficiency measurement. The authors construct a variety of production frontiers …

Data envelopment analysis has gained great popularity in energy and environmental (E&E)
modeling in recent years. In this paper, we present a literature survey on the application of …

The purpose of this paper is to briefly trace the evolution of DEA from the initial publication
by Charnes et al.(1978b) to the current state of the art (SOA). The state of development of …

In his classic paper, MJ Farrell (1957) argues that the measurement of productive efficiency
is of theoretical and practical importance; a satisfactory efficiency measure allows both …

This paper provides a systematic literature review of studies investigating the effect of an
intervention on the efficiency of a decision‐making unit, when efficiency is computed using …

The impact of unions on productivity is explored using meta‐analysis and meta‐regression
analysis. It is shown that most of the variation in published results is due to specification …
