Performance Analysis and Calculation of Marginal Rates in the Presence of Undesirable Input-output Factors and Non-Discretionary Indexes [PDF]
Objective: In many production processes, the efficiency of decision-making units should be investigated in the presence of undesirable inputs and outputs and non-discretionary factors. It is also important for managers to examine the impact of changes on

The good, the bad and the technology:endogeneity in environmental production models [PDF]
In this paper we consider an environmental production process in which firms intend to produce outputs (which we label as desirable/good) but the production process is such that it automatically produces some other unintentional but inevitable ...

Overall Efficiency of Four-Stage Structure with Undesirable Outputs: A New SBM Network DEA Model
Benchmarking is the major reason for the widespread use of DEA models for efficiency analysis. Determining the closest targets for DMUs, DEA models play a key role in benchmarking their best performance.

Incorporating Undesirable Outputs into Malmquist TFP Index: Environmental Performance Growth of Chinese Coal-Fired Power Plants [PDF]
In this article we examine the effects of undesirable outputs on the Malmquist TFP indices. Our empirical work uses an unbalanced panel which covers 796 utility and non-utility coal-fired power plants in China during 1996-2002.

Development of Data Envelopment Analysis for the Performance Evaluation of Green Supply Chain with Undesirable Outputs [PDF]
A fundamental problem is the use of DEA in multistep or multilevel processes such as supply chain, lack of attention to processes’ internal communications in a way that the recent studies on DEA in the context of serial processes have focused on closed ...

On the inconsistency of the Malmquist-Luenberger index [PDF]
Apart from the well-known weaknesses of the standard Malmquist productivity index related to infeasibility and not accounting for slacks, already addressed in the literature, we identify a new and significant drawback of the Malmquist-Luenberger index
