In this paper, we used the DEA method, to apply to the agriculture sector in BurkinaFaso. We applied the method with forty-one (41) agricultural farmers with data taking into account cultivated area, manual (human) labour, the liquidity fund of the working household, the number of crops (products) and the expected farm incomes. The results highlight the seven (7) technical efficiencies. Taking into account the variable scale yields, fourteen (14) efficient farms are obtained. These results show how non-efficient farms in the DEA sense are indexed to efficient farms that can serve as benchmarks or benchmarks in terms of performance improvement. This study shows that efficiency does not depend on the category of operator but on overall performance (efficiency and productivity).

The efficiency and productivity of Zakat institution have widely discussed, it is an organization based on social which looks after economic disparities. Most recently, Indonesia made a standardization policy and system of zakat institution, so that the zakat institution in Indonesia can reach the same quality or higher rather than other countries. It called Zakat Core Principles. Therefore, this research will focus on the zakat institution in Indonesia and Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to measure and compare the efficiency and productivity using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), which is a non-parametric and deterministic methodology for determining the relative efficiency and productivity. The result of this research shows, The first quadrant is the best efficient and productive institutions gained by zakat institution in Indonesia namely Sinergi Foundation and 3 zakat institutions in Malaysia namely Kedah, Melayu Perak, and Selangor. The second quadrant is highly productive but low efficient achieved by zakat institutions in Indonesia namely Baznas, RZ, Dompet Dhuafa and 1 zakat institution in Malaysia namely Jawhar. The third quadrant is high efficient but low productive didn’t achieve by any zakat institution in Indonesia or Malaysia. The fourth quadrant is low efficient and low productive reached by 1 zakat institution in Indonesia namely PKPU and 3 zakat institution in Malaysia namely Kelantan, PPZ and Pahang. The implication in this study is describing the position of zakat institution in Indonesia and Malaysia so that it is known which zakat institution could be a role model or benchmarking for other zakat institution.

Efficiency is a topic of great interest because its applications are diverse and rich. It is applied greatly in all scientific disciplines, especially accounting for a very large proportion in economics, finance and accounting. The main objective in this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of banks in Vietnam. In order to investigate this issue, there are several implements to examine bank effectiveness where the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is widely used. This paper presents details of the DEA method. Using the data collected from banks in Vietnam for the period 2014–2017, the approach is executed to investigate issues of technical efficiency, resource analysis and business efficiency of banks in Vietnam.

This chapter provides information on the use of Performance Improvement Management Software (PIM-DEA). This advanced DEA software enables users to make the best possible analysis of the data, using the latest theoretical developments in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). PIM-DEA software gives full capacity to assess efficiency and productivity, set targets, identify benchmarks, and much more, allowing users to truly manage the performance of organizational units. PIM-DEA is easy to use and powerful, and it has an extensive range of the most up-to-date DEA models and which can handle large sets of data.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in evaluating multi-criteria decision making problems which have multi-inputs and multi-outputs. However, the traditional DEA method does neither take the decision maker’s subjective preferences to the individual criteria into consideration, nor rank the selected options or decision making units (DMUs). On the other hand, Satty’s Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was established to rank options or DMUs under multi-inputs and multi-outputs through pairwise comparisons. But in most cases, the AHP pairwise comparison method is not perfectly consistent, which may give rise to confusions in determining the appropriate priorities of each criterion to be considered. The inconsistency implicates the fuzziness in generating the relative important weight for each criterion. In this paper, a novel method which employs both DEA and AHP methods is proposed to evaluate the overall performance of suppliers’ involvement in the production of a manufacturing company. This method has been developed through modifying the DEA method into a weighting constrained DEA method by using a piecewise triangular weighting fuzzy set which is generated from the inconsistent AHP comparisons. A bias tolerance ratio (BTR) is introduced to represent the varying but restrained weighting values of each criterion. Accordingly, the BTR provides the decision maker a controllable parameter by tightening or loosening the range of the weighting values in evaluating the overall performance of available suppliers, which in hence, overcomes the two weaknesses of the traditional DEA method.

Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem and ranks as the second leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. Countries devote their budgets to overcome the tuberculosis problem. An efficient use of these budgets will arguably reduce the number of tuberculosis cases and eventually give a positive impact to the economy. This paper aims it aims to estimate the technical efficiency scores of tuberculosis funds on high-burden countries by using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) method. Further, this study analyzes other environmental factors that are crucial to increase the efficiency scores by using Tobit method. DEA shows that some countries exhibit high efficiency scores while others exhibit low efficiency scores. It also informs how countries use funds to maximize their results. Meanwhile, the Tobit estimation shows that taxing cigarettes and committing budgets to control tobaccos have positive marginal effects on technical efficiency scores.

This research analyzed the economic aspect of natural resource in West Java Province, particularly fishery and agriculture. The objectives of the research are: (1) to analyze the diversity of natural-resource-based sectors (particularly fishery and agriculture) in West Java Province during 2001-2012 period, (2) to identify and explain the instability of the natural-resource-based sectors in the long term, and (3) to analyze the connection pattern between the instability of the two sectors and its input and output variables. This research was analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Coppock Instability Index (CII), and correlation. The result of this research shows that: (1) during the period of 2001 – 2012, agriculture sector showed performance towards better direction, while fishery sector tends to fluctuate. The performance of agriculture output could be improved by 8.75% from the existing condition, while the performance of fishery production could be improved up to 23%, (2) interaction between instability index and the input and output (labor, NTP and NTN) shows that there are policy dynamics on the input and output in fishery and agriculture sector, (2) in agriculture sector, NTP and production has positive correlation to CII. This means that the higher the NTP and production, the more instable the farmer’s prosperity is. This is contrary to fishery sector, where the increase of NTN and production tend to stabilize the community’s prosperity

This study investigates the efficiency and productivity performance of the national private banks in Indonesia during the period of 2002-2004. The data consist of 21 national private banks including two Islamic banks. Productivity is measured by the Malmquist Index using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. Overall, the result shows that the Total Factor Production (TFP) Index of the national private banks has considerably increased for the whole industry, in which technical change is found to be a more important source of productivity growth to the Indonesian Banking Industry compared to efficiency change. Furthermore, the result also shows that the efficiency of two Islamic banks is above the average efficiency of the national private banks.
