This paper investigates the performance of Malaysian non-bank financial institutions during the period of 2000-2004. Several efficiency estimates of individual NBFIs are evaluated using the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The findings suggest that during the period of study, scale inefficiency outweighs pure technical inefficiency in the Malaysian NBFI sector. We find that the merchant banks have exhibited a higher, technical efficiency compared to their peers. The empirical findings suggest that scale efficiency tends to be more sensitive to the exclusion of risk factors, implying that potential economies of scale may be overestimated when risk factors are excluded.

This study aims to determine the efficiency level of management of zakat funds at the National Zakat Amil Agency (BAZNAS). The author uses the quantitative non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Total assets, promotion, and documentation costs, and official travel costs as input variables. Whereas the output variance consists of receiving zakat funds and distributing zakat funds. The results showed that BAZNAS experienced efficiency in 2012-2014 and 2017 with a score of 100%. Inefficiencies occurred in 2015 at 79.16% and in 2016 amounted to 98.72%. In 2015-2016, all input variables experienced inefficiency, while the output variable was the only inefficient distribution of zakat funds. In overcoming, inefficiencies can be adjusted between the target and actual quantities specified in the DEA calculation. The author recommends that BAZNAS pay attention to the causes of inefficiency so that it can improve performance better.

Banking efficiency is very important in supporting the success of macro policies specifically, maintaining the sustainability of development that affects economic growth and social welfare. This study discusses the efficiency of commercial banks for the 2015-2019 period using data from the 10 largest commercial banks in Indonesia. The methodology used is non-parametric, Data Envelopment Analysis, to analyze technical efficiency. The results showed that 7 banks had a maximum efficiency level consistently during the study period and there were still 3 banks that did not reach the maximum efficiency but during certain periods or periods. Based on the results of the DEA, inefficient banks in a certain period can achieve maximum efficiency by reducing inputs such as labor costs, net fixed assets, and the number of deposits. This might be attributed that the competition in the banking industry and because not all inputs could be controlled by management, some large banks cannot maintain their level of efficiency consistently.

The Primary Health Care in Morocco plays a very strategic role in the prevention against various diseases, in particular the current pandemic COVID 19. The efficiency of these centers has a direct impact on the reduction of this pandemic. First, this is why will try to research the literature review about the technical efficiency of primary health care. In the second step, the non-parametric: Data Envelopment Analysis method will be used to apply the empiric phase during the period 2012-2015, to estimate the relative technical efficiency, this method will be calculated by using two models: the theory of the return to scale constant with a middle equal to 0.437 and the theory of the variable return to scale with an average of 0.537. It’s necessary to combine the DEA approach with the Malmquist index to evaluate the factors of production. Finally, to compare the results of the proposed method which are generally very poor, and discuss his policy implications for health care.

This article follows Simar and Wilson’s (2007 , Journal of Econometrics, 136(1), 31–64) two-stage procedure to analyse the efficiency of the Malaysian banking sector. In the first stage, we employ the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to compute the efficiency of individual banks during the period 1999–2008. We then use panel regressions to examine the impact of ownership on bank efficiency while controlling for the potential impacts of contextual variables. The DEA results indicate an increase in efficiency over the sample period. The results from the panel regression suggest that productive efficiency is positively related to bank size, capitalization and foreign ownership. On the other hand, the publicly listed and government-owned banks have been relatively inefficient in their intermediation function.

Using a non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach, this paper compares the price of each car model in a segment of the personal car market with the best possible price in view of the technology available given its particular combination of characteristics. In this approach, a car model is defined as price efficient if it offers customers the highest value per dollar spent for that set of characteristics. Likewise, a car model is inefficient if there is some other car model with a lower price having equivalent or higher quality, whereby a measure of the price efficiency is determined by the price reduction needed to make a car model efficient. The data set covers 141 different year 2002 car models. The vehicles that are listed by Edmunds.com as consumers’ most wanted are compared with those at the top of our efficiency list. It is found that the majority of cars at the top of the list are also listed as most wanted by Edmunds.com. Evidently, consumers who usually make decisions based on price and quality information will naturally employ a heuristic such as ‘buy car models at the top of price efficiency list’ if this list is made available to them.
