Abstract
In the insurance industry, performance evaluation is a crucial instrument for resource management, allocation, and industry development. Negative data, however, have received little attention in the present evaluation system and are considered an undesirable consequence of research evaluation. To fill this gap, this paper establishes an evaluation indicator system that includes negative data and proposes the dynamic two-stage improved base point slacks-based measure (IBP-SBM) model for handling negative data. The model fully considers the internal structure of the production process and the measurement of intermediate products, and obtains the system efficiency and stage efficiency in two steps. In order to verify the applicability of the model, we evaluate the performance of 48 Chinese and foreign property insurance companies over the period from 2018 to 2020 through the proposed model. The empirical results indicate that variations in the investment stage are primarily responsible for shifts in the overall efficiency of the property insurance industry. With this method, decision-making is aided by a wealth of information.
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
