A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this

Is there such a thing as an optimal government size? We investigate by the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) the so-called `Armey curve' which claims an inverted U-shaped relationship between government size and economic performance. The DEA

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Literature reviews published in peer‐reviewed journals are a prime source of general reference, as their validity and reliability are usually undisputed. This paper aims to raise awareness on biases and replicability challenges widely spread across literature reviews, using the field of efficiency of education as an example.
