Multilateral Productivity Comparisons with Undesirable Outputs

The Economic Journal, 1983
In a recent paper in this JOURNAL, Caves, Christensen and Diewert (I982; hereafter CCD) derive what they term 'multilateral superlative indexes' for use in the comparison of output, input, and productivity across economic entities. The indexes derived are distinguished both by transitivity and by a high degree of 'characteristicity' - a term introduced

A new approach in modelling undesirable output in DEA model

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2011
With an increasing attention on the environment, one of the major research thrusts in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based performance evaluation is the undesirable output in the conventional DEA model. There is considerable research published on the undesirable aspects of production outputs.

Applying non-radial DEA on undesirable outputs for sustainability

2016 12th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD), 2016
Enterprises recognize sustainability as an important issue in management. Unfortunately, there are problems of increasing desirable outputs and decreasing undesirable outputs in sustainability measurement. In the past, Hwang et al. developed a radial DEA model that simultaneously evaluated decrease of undesirable outputs and increase of desire outputs ...

Undesirable effects of output normalization in multiple classifier systems

Pattern Recognition Letters, 2003
Summary: Incomparability of the classifier output scores is a major problem in the combination of different classification systems. In order to deal with this problem, the measurement level classifier outputs are generally normalized. However, empirical results have shown that output normalization may lead to some undesirable effects.

The bootstrap approach for DEA model with undesirable outputs

2011 International Conference on Multimedia Technology, 2011
In this paper, the DEA models with undesirable outputs are considered and an effective bootstrap approach is developed for statistical inference. The most attractive point for our method is that it not only can allow statistical noise and inherent dependency to be investigated simultaneously, but also can further enhance the statistical foundation of ...

Treating undesirable outputs in DEA: A critical review

Economic Analysis and Policy, 2019
Abstract The treatment of undesirable outputs in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has received great research attention recently. As such and as are presented in this work, there are four possible options to deal with those: 1. ignoring them from the production function, 2. treating them as regular inputs, 3.

Environmental degradation—An undesirable output of the food system

2019
The food system increasingly leads to environmental pollution and resource depletion, with impacts on all four environmental compartments, namely air, water, soil, and biota (living organisms). Using one or more examples to illustrate their most salient features, this chapter summarizes the environmental degradation caused by the ever-increasing ...
