This paper employs data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess both technical and cost efficiency of research activities of the Italian university system. Differently from both peer review and the top-down discipline-invariant bibliographic…
The current work proposes an application of DEA methodology for measurement of technical and allocative efficiency of university research activity. The analysis is based on bibliometric data from the Italian university system for the five…
Assessing the technical efficiency of a set of observations requires that the associated data composed of inputs and outputs are perfectly known. If this is not the case, then biased estimates will likely be obtained. Data Envelopment…
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) appears more than just an instrument of measurement. DEA models can be seen as a mathematical structure for democratic voicing within decisional contexts. Such an important aspect of DEA is enhanced through…
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear program (LP)-based method used to determine the efficiency of a decision making unit (DMU), which transforms inputs to outputs, by peer comparison. This paper presents a new computation algorithm…
In a context of global economy, addressing SMEs performance within a local framework appears rather a naive approach. The key drawback of such an approach stems from its restriction to socio-economic factors that might lead to biased…
The banking industry is very important for an economic cycle of each country and provides some quality of services for us. With the advancement in technology and rapidly increasing of the complexity of the business environment, it has…
Evaluating the efficiency of organizations and branches within an organization is a challenging issue for managers. Evaluation criteria allow organizations to rank their internal units, identify their position concerning their competitors,…
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 management goals. Managers usually set goals without having any…
Background: The energy consumption of machine learning and its impact on the environment has made energy efficient ML an emerging area of research. However, most of the attention stays focused on the model creation and the training and…
Natural language models are often summarized through a high-dimensional set of descriptive metrics including training corpus size, training time, the number of trainable parameters, inference times, and evaluation statistics that assess…
In this work Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed in thirty-day windows to quantify temporal evolution of relative pandemic mitigation inefficiency of Brazilian municipalities. For each thirty-day window the results of inefficiency…
Research and development (R&D) of countries play a major role in a long-term development of the economy. We measure the R&D efficiency of all 28 member countries of the European Union in the years 2008--2014. Super-efficient data…
Algorithmic systems are increasingly being adopted by cultural heritage institutions like libraries. In this study, we investigate U.S. public libraries' adoption of one specific automated tool -- automated collection diversity audits --…
For controlling pollution of the marine environment while developing coastal economy, the coastal environmental performance was proposed and measured in static and dynamic methods combined with DEA and efficiency theory in this paper. With…
Latin America's education systems are fragmented and segregated, with substantial differences by school type. The concept of school efficiency (the ability of school to produce the maximum level of outputs given available resources) is…
In this paper we propose a Long Short-Term Memory Network based method to forecast the energy consumption in public buildings, based on past measurements. Our approach consists of three main steps: data processing step, training and…
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) works like a black box that does not provide any adequate detail to identify the specific reason for inefficiency in decision-making units (DMUs). The motivation of this study is to analyze the cause of the…
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a technique used to measure the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs). In order to measure the efficiency of DMUs, the essential requirement is input-output data. Data is usually collected by humans,…
The research and teaching efficiencies of 45 Turkish state universities are evaluated by using Multi-Activity Data Envelopment Analysis (MA-DEA) model developed by Beasley (1995). Universities are multi-purpose institutions, therefore they…
