The aim of the chapter is to measure the non-interest income based branch efficiency among privately-owned banks in the Turkish banking sector between 2008 and 2012. The chapter is built on the three inputs and three outputs model of bank branch efficiency and empirical results are constructed with the data envelopment analysis (DEA) in the limitation of input-orientated constant returns to scale model. The results demonstrate that all privately-owned banks improve non-interest based efficiency performance by the years and mean efficiency in the sector regularly rises due to the increasing overall competitive factors.

This study aims to measure the performance efficiency of elementary schools in Special Capital Region of Jakarta, especially Central Jakarta district in the period 2014/2015 by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. DEA is a non-parametric method to measure efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). DEA compares several homogeneous DMUs based on a number of inputs to produce the expected outputs. This study uses descriptive method using DMU as many as 103 public elementary schools that are A-accredited with three inputs and four outputs. Data is analyzed using DEAP version 2.1 application by comparing CRS (Constant Returns to Scale) model and VRS (Variable Returns to Scale) model. Results show that: 1) in CRS model, there are 8 public elementary schools (7.77 percent) have efficient performances while in VRS model there are 14 public elementary schools (13.59 percent) have efficient performances; 2) VRS model is better than CRS model in measuring the efficiency performance of public elementary schools in Central Jakarta.

Nowadays banking sector in Bangladesh plays a considerable role in the economic development and business improvement, in this aspect ranking of banks is vital. In this study, an attempt has been made to rank some of the Bangladeshi Banks. Also, the most efficient bank is identified here. Data Envelopment Analysis is used for this purpose. The data from the annual reports of different banks are used in this study for the purpose of efficiency checking. In Data Envelopment Analysis two types measurement techniques are used – constant returns to scale and variable returns to scale. Since this study attempts to maximize output, that is, the operating profit, so the output oriented Data Envelopment Analysis is used here. The most efficient bank is identified here by the highest efficiency score obtained by that specific bank. Dhaka Univ. J.

AbstractAlgeria has recently experienced an important agricultural development in terms of gardening in plastic greenhouses thanks to the favourable factors (climatic conditions, etc.). In order to optimize the energy requirements, data from 29 farmers were collected, who qualitatively represent the greenhouse vegetable producers from the most productive sub-provinces of Biskra region (south of Algeria). Considering the various parametric and non-parametric methods for energy consumption optimization, data envelopment analysis is the most common non-parametric method applied. Results showed that the mean radial technical efficiency assumptions of the samples under constant returns to scale and variable returns to scale models were 0.88 and 0.98, respectively. The 51.72% of decision-making units were efficient on the basis of the constant returns to scale model; 79.31% decision-making units were observed efficient on the basis of variable returns to scale model. Calculation of optimal energy requirements for vegetable greenhouse indicated that 108.50 GJ·ha−1 can be saved on machinery (1.38 GJ·ha-1); diesel fuel (4.68 GJ·ha−1); infrastructure (9.35 GJ·ha−1); fertilizers (17.08 GJ·ha−1); farmyard manure (12.05 GJ·ha−1); pesticides (3.93 GJ·ha−1); and electricity (60.03 GJ·ha−1).

The aim of the paper is to estimate the cost efficiency of the Czech and Slovak commercial banks within the period 2010-2014. For empirical analysis the Data Envelopment Analysis input-oriented model with variable returns to scale is applied on the data of the commercial banks. The intermediation approach is adopted to define the inputs and outputs. The Czech commercial banks are more cost efficient than Slovak commercial banks. The development of average cost efficiency is similar in the Czech and Slovak banking industry. The most efficient Czech banks are Ceská sporitelna and Sberbank in the Czech banking sector, the most efficient Slovak bank is Privatbanka with 100% efficiency.

Abstract Operating performance could affect the survival and future development of a business that both businesses and business managers would devote to the enhancement of operating performance. Having developed for more than four decades, the consistent upstream, mid-stream and downstream system have been constructed in domestic textile industry. The output value of textiles in Taiwan has exceeded 480 billion NT dollars, which is not a sunset industry, as generally described. The impacts of high labour cost, environmental protection measures and changes of capital market as well as the competition of emerging countries, particularly Mainland China, have made textile industry in Taiwan face great market competition and pressure. Since textiles are regarded as one of the major products in Taiwan, the operating performance could affect the survival of the overall industry. In this case, operating performance survey of textile manufacturers in Taiwan during 2010–2012 is combined with Data Envelopment Analysis and Slack Variable Analysis to measure the total efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of top 12 textile manufacturers in Taiwan, tending to provide the reference of operating efficiency improvement for the manufacturers. The empirical results show that the overall efficiency in the 3 years appears 0.89 averagely. The relative efficiency (1) between two manufacturers, Far Eastern New Century and Ruentex Industries, achieves the optimal operating efficiency, whereas the remaining 10 are comparatively worse. Regarding the analysis of returns to scale, two textile manufacturers present constant returns to scale, with the optimal operating efficiency, whereas the remaining 10 show increasing returns to scale, revealing that expanding the scale could enhance the marginal return and further promote the efficiency.

A lot of research has been done using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure efficiency in Education. DEA has also been used in the field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) to investigate and measure the efficiency of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) investments on Human Development. Education is one of the major components of the Human Development Index (HDI) which affects the core of Human Development. This research investigates the relative efficiency of ICT Infrastructure Utilization on the educational component of the HDI in order to determine the viability of Learning Analytics using DEA for policy direction and decision making. A conceptual model taking the form of a Linear Equation was used and the Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) models of the Data Envelopment Analysis were employed to measure the relative efficiency of the components of ICT Infrastructure (Inputs) and the components of Education (Outputs). Results show a generally high relative efficiency of ICT Infrastructure utilization on Educational Attainment and Adult Literacy rates, a strong correlation between this Infrastructure and Literacy rates as well, provide an empirical support for the argument of increasing ICT infrastructure to provide an increase in Human Development, especially within the educational context. The research concludes that DEA as a methodology can be used for macroeconomic decision making and policy direction within developmental research.

Measuring productivity is the systematic process for both inter- and intra-organizational comparisons. The productivity measurement can be used to control and facilitate decision-making in manufacturing as well as service organizations. This study’s objective was to develop a decision support framework by integrating an analytic network process (ANP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to tackling productivity measurement and benchmarking problems in a manufacturing environment. The ANP was used to capture the interdependency between the criteria taking into consideration the ambiguity and vagueness. The nonparametric DEA approach was utilized to determine the input-oriented constant returns to scale (CRS) efficiency of different value-adding production units and to benchmark them. The proposed framework was implemented to benchmark the productivity of an apparel manufacturing company. By applying the model, industrial managers can gain benefits by identifying the possible contributing factors that play an important role in increasing the productivity of manufacturing organizations.

This study measures and explains technical efficiency (TE), economic efficiency and allocative efficiency of 110 small-scale vegetable farmers practicing various irrigation technologies for increased productivity. We employed the two-stage approach to estimate efficiency scores under constant returns to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) specifications. First, using a linear programming method, efficiency scores of the irrigated vegetable farmers were measured using the data envelopment analysis approach. The results show that about 27.3 per cent of the farmers currently operate on the production possibility frontier and are technically efficient, while 3.6 per cent were found to be both economically and allocatively efficient. The mean TE score for CRS was 50.6 per cent, compared with 78.1 per cent under the VRS. A Tobit regression at the second-stage analysis revealed that gender, experience, health and credit utilization have significant effects on TE. These results are valuable for stakeholders interested in promoting efficiency in smallholder irrigated production. JEL Classification: C14, C61, D24, D61, Q12
