Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDistinguishing Congestion and Technical Inefficiency in Presence Undesirable OutputFaranak Hosseinzadeh Saljooghi, Mohammad Mahallati RayeniProblem statement: This study focuses on problems of congestion and how they might be treated in universities, also investigates a methodology to measure undesirable outputs congestion in addition to inputs congestion, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Congestion indicates an economic state where inputs are overly invested. Evidence of congestion occurs whenever reducing some inputs can increase outputs. Approach: The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 2 Aug 2011 · 7,379 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Enhanced Russell Measure of Super-Efficiency for Ranking Efficient Units in Data Envelopment AnalysisAli Ashrafi, Azmi Bin Jaafar, Lai Soon Lee, Mohd Rizam Abu BakarProblem statement: Conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) helps decision makers to discriminate between efficient and inefficient Decision Making Units (DMUs). However, DEA does not provide more information about the efficient DMUs. Super-efficiency DEA model can be used in ranking the performance of efficient DMUs. Because of the possible infeasibility of radial super-efficiency DEA model, the ranking has been limited to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,800 accessesView PDF Cite
