Uncertain Random Data Envelopment Analysis: Efficiency Estimation of Returns to Scale

Advances in Mathematical Physics, 2021
Evaluating efficiency according to the different states of returns to scale (RTS) is crucial to resource allocation and scientific decision for decision-making units (DMUs), but this kind of evaluation will become very difficult when the DMUs are in an ...

DEA-based integrated relationship of returns to scale – an application to road maintenance in Taiwan

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2012
An Integrated Relationship of Returns to Scale (IRRS) associated with multiple-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is proposed for identifying the returns to scale (RTS) among decision-making units (DMUs) appropriately and accurately.

Do Mutual Funds Have Decreasing Returns to Scale? Evidence from Fund Mergers

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 2018
Using mergers as shocks to fund size, I analyze the return-to-scale property of mutual funds. I find that acquiring funds’ performance deteriorates after experiencing a positive shock in size resulting from mergers, and liquidity plays an important role ...
