There are different alternatives of farming systems among which producers can choose. To facilitate decision-making it is convenient to develop applications that analyze the alternatives from the point of view of sustainability. The analysis of the sustainability of greenhouse production must be carried out according to the criteria that affect all the processes that make up the agri-food value chain. In this work, the criteria and sub-criteria that influence the sustainability of greenhouse production are analyzed first. Next, the alternatives in the most important cultivation system in the production of greenhouse tomatoes in the Spanish Mediterranean Basin (soil, perlite and nutrient film technique, NFT) are evaluated. The work is carried out based on the opinion of ten experts from the integrated sectors of the agrifood value chain. The results indicate that the sustainability of greenhouse production increases in the order: soil < perlite < NFT due to a higher valuation of the latter alternative in relation to commercial, natural, human, material resources and management versus economic resources","PeriodicalId":38703,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Economic Review","volume":"25 1","pages":"27-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69294830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand Fuzzy Logic (FL) cannot be used alone in credit scoring due to lack of learning ability. However this is possible in hybrid models where NN and FL are used together. This study investigates the possible nonlinear relationship between the characteristics of loan applicant and default probability by using hybrid Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) which combines NN and FL. We used statistical techniques such as discriminant analysis, logistic regression and multivariate adaptive regression splines as feature selection before developing credit scoring models. Then we developed 83 credit scoring models by using NN and 15 credit scoring models by using ANFIS. While the optimal ANFIS model has 78.5% classification accuracy, NN has 77.5%. In addition to higher classification accuracy the ANFIS model is not a black box, in contrast to NN. The ANFIS model can explain the reasons for the credit decision. So this study reveals the nature of personal loan decisions with the German credit data set.","PeriodicalId":38703,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Economic Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69293717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, emerging countries have specific characteristics that force them to face the issue of sustainable development under a very particular vision about how actions should be taken to generate public policies and programmes that suit their own needs and the well-being of their citizens. With this perspective, our study presents a methodology based on the model of forgotten effects developed by Kaufmann and Gil Aluja. This methodology quantifies (using expert groups) the relationship between the indicators of Mexico’s social progress index and its sustainability to determine the incidence of the components of this index in the country’s sustainability activities, with the objective of providing elements for better decision-making in the design of strategies, actions and public policies aimed at the sustainable development of the nation.","PeriodicalId":38703,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Economic Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69294590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the information obtained through a survey made to self-employed workers of La Matanza City, Argentina, a set of different dimensions were defined. In order to design a multidimensional indicator, a model that aggregats binary, quantitative and linguistic information was applied to construct an index. The index allows not only to quickly valuate the social vulnerability level of a group, but also to focus on targeted public policies in the dimensions with highest value within the sample. Results show the group´s vulnerability is related to the informality and sustainability of their income and access to financial market. This approach should complement aggregate data of traditional socioeconomic indicators, and has the objective of customize public policies related to social development","PeriodicalId":38703,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Economic Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69294572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
