This paper deals with evaluating congestion in free disposal hull (FDH) models. There are several approaches in data envelopment analysis (DEA) literatures which discuss the theory and application of congestion. However, almost all of these approaches considered convex DEA technologies. So, in the case of nonconvex technologies, including FDH technology, this field is almost nil. This paper makes an attempt to fill in this void. To do so, this study provides a pairwise comparisons-based algorithm to evaluate congestion in FDH model. This algorithm identifies the sources of congestion and estimates its amounts. It is also capable of detecting the losses amounts of output due to congestion. The validity of the proposed model is demonstrated using some numerical and empirical examples.

During the past decade, applying nonparametric operation research problems such as Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) has received significant consideration among researchers. In this paper, a new DEA-based SBM-FDH model is introduced. Finally, productivity evaluation for banking systems in Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) based on the proposed model has been compared with Slack Based Measurement (SBM) and Free Disposal Hull (FDH). The obtained results confirm the high performance of the proposed model in comparison to the other models used in this paper.

In this study, the researcher would make Panin Dubai Syariah Bank was the object of research on Islamic banks that carry out mergers and acquisitions. This research by using quarterly financial reports to determine the level of efficiency of the Panin Dubai Syariah Bank to be analyzed using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The researcher was used the annual report to find out the extent the Panin Dubai Syariah Bank carries out its Shariah values and objectives to be analyzed based on the Maqashid Index Sharia. The frontier approach can be divided into parametric approaches and non-parametric approaches. The parametric  approach  takes  measurements  using  stochastic  econometrics  and  seeks  to  eliminate interference from the effects of inefficiency. While the non-parametric approach with linear programs ( non-parametric linear programming approach ) performs non-parametric measurements using an approach is not stochastic and tends to combine the interference into inefficiency. This is based on the discovery and observation of the population and evaluates efficiency relative to the units observed. In the non- parametric method, the approaches that can be used are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Free Disposal Hull (FDH). The results of the measurement of Bank Panin Dubai Syariah using DEA indicate that the decision to merge carried out by Panin Syariah Bank with Dubai Islamic Bank was the right decision because, with the merger, Panin Dubai Syariah Bank could produce almost perfect efficiency value of 99% in the year 2015. With doing the merger, Bank Panin Dubai Syariah can minimize the inefficiencies that occur in the input variable so that it can maximize the efficiency that occurs in the output variable

This paper measures the efficiency of expenditure in health care in 62 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), based on the ratio between the level of total expenditure (as percent of GDP) and some health results (life expectancy and mortality rates in children under five years of age per every 1000 children born alive). For this purpose, the non-parametric method data envelopment analysis was applied using data from 1995, 2005 and 2014 for each group. The results allow identifying the relative efficiency and position of the set of countries analysed within both groups of countries. In 2014, the most efficient countries in LAC were Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Jamaica, whilst in the OECD these were Japan, Luxembourg and Turkey. The average efficiency of LAC countries turns out to be below that of the OECD (0.938 and 0.974, respectively).
