Abstract
. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a powerful mathematical programming methodology for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) with multiple outputs and multiple inputs. In the classic DEA, it has been implicitly assumed that all DMUs perform in a unique technology set and the traditional DEA cannot measure the relative performances of DMUs with dis-similar classes. In other words, if we have different groups of DMUs, the traditional DEA models cannot be applied to evaluate such cases. In this paper, it has been assumed that the DMUs do business in different groups. We are interested to evaluate the members of the groups. The main aim of this paper is proposing a DEA-based methodology to estimate the technical efficiency of DMUs along with different groups with different technologies. The proposed method is illustrated by an empirical example on banking industry.
期刊介绍:
Croatian Operational Research Review (CRORR) is the journal which publishes original scientific papers from the area of operational research. The purpose is to publish papers from various aspects of operational research (OR) with the aim of presenting scientific ideas that will contribute both to theoretical development and practical application of OR. The scope of the journal covers the following subject areas: linear and non-linear programming, integer programing, combinatorial and discrete optimization, multi-objective programming, stohastic models and optimization, scheduling, macroeconomics, economic theory, game theory, statistics and econometrics, marketing and data analysis, information and decision support systems, banking, finance, insurance, environment, energy, health, neural networks and fuzzy systems, control theory, simulation, practical OR and applications. The audience includes both researchers and practitioners from the area of operations research, applied mathematics, statistics, econometrics, intelligent methods, simulation, and other areas included in the above list of topics. The journal has an international board of editors, consisting of more than 30 editors – university professors from Croatia, Slovenia, USA, Italy, Germany, Austria and other coutries.
