This paper proposes a two-stage inverse DEA model combined with Stackelberg’s game theory for the efficiency measurement of China’s regional economic development and people’s living standards. The first stage is considered as the leader since it provides the capital and the infrastructure of the...
Based on the above analysis, we propose our research question: how can we provide a reasonable method for measuring and improving the environmental efficiency of two-stage production systems, which contains shared inputs with uncertain distribution ratio and complies with the material balance principle...
In the second stage of DEA, through the parametric fractional regression model (FRM), which consolidated results of one-part and two-part models, the results show that the Expenditure on Social Protection produces positive (high magnitude coefficient) statistical significance on TEA of Eastern, ...

Although the present literature has progressed signif- cantly, all of the available DEA models consider either the pure undesirable outputs or uncertainties in problem data. So, in this paper, we present a combined model to measure the performance of DMUs with uncertain perspectives in the ...
That's the dream, but the future is uncertain. No one knows today when the technology will be mature enough, when mass-market adoption might start, where it will start, whether customers will adopt it, or how fast and large this adoption...
Two sets of independent variables, namely digital resource capability and firms and owners’ characteristics, are taken as explanatory variables of digital financial inclusion. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been applied to analyze the difference in perceived business obstacles across the micro-...
[27] proposed the gridded two-stage DEA model under interval data. Hos- seinzadeh Lotfi et al. [28] developed Network DEA models on interval data. Hosseinzadeh Lotfi et al. [29] proposed Malmquist productivity index (MPI) for decision-making unit with interval data has been evaluated....
One of the research directions in this category is to exploring new DEA techniques to better assess an insurer's performance, such as the multi-stage network DEA model. Kao and Hwang (2008) first proposed the two-stage DEA model, which divided the production process into two stages and ...
