A Comment on Weak Disposability in Nonparametric Production Analysis

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2009
AbstractIn his 2005 paper in this journal, Kuosmanen argues that Shephard's specification of weak disposability in activity analysis (DEA) models is not correct. We show that Shephard's specification does satisfy weak disposability and is the “smallest” technology to do so.

Weak Disposability in Nonparametric Production Analysis with Undesirable Outputs

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2005
Weak disposability of outputs means that firms can abate harmful emissions by decreasing the activity level. Modeling weak disposability in nonparametric production analysis has caused some confusion. This article identifies a dilemma in these approaches: conventional formulations implicitly and unintentionally assume all firms apply uniform abatement ...

An application of Dynamic Range Adjusted Measure with weak-G disposability in evaluating airline energy efficiency

Energy Efficiency, 2021
The dynamic energy efficiencies of airlines are measured in this paper. Greenhouse gas emissions are selected as the undesirable output, and the dynamic factor is defined as fleet size. Weak-G disposability is considered to reflect the material balance principle.

Assessing regional environmental efficiency in China with distinguishing weak and strong disposability of undesirable outputs

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019
Abstract China has developed a remarkable economic growth in the past 30 years by accompanying with undesirable outputs. The assumptions of weak and strong of undesirable outputs have become the focus discussion in data envelopment analysis (DEA) models.

Weak Disposability in Nonparametric Production Analysis: Reply to Färe and Grosskopf

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2009
AbstractFäre and Grosskopf (this issue) claim that a single abatement factor suffices for modeling weak disposability in nonparametric production models, and that the Kuosmanen (2005) technology that uses multiple abatement factors is larger than necessary. This article demonstrates by a numerical example that a single abatement factor does not suffice
