“…Therefore, SFA was chosen as the main research method [ 36 ]. SFA analyzes production processes according to economic principles and uses the results to estimate and design the production function model; then, the obtained parameters are systematically inspected and analyzed [ 37 ]. Therefore, SFA can be considered a comprehensive method for analyzing technical efficiency.…”

Apples, as a typical agricultural product with high added value, play a significant role in increasing farmers’ income and promoting regional economic growth. They have become one of the main ways for farmers to develop agricultural and sideline products in China’s Loess Plateau and Bohai Rim region. Based on panel data for provinces from 2007 to 2020, this study used stochastic frontier analysis to calculate the technical efficiency of apple production in China’s major apple-producing areas and then introduced urbanization rate as the threshold variable. Based on the quantity, quality, and structure of the rural labor force, the threshold model was used to empirically analyze the effect of labor transfer at different stages of urbanization on industrial technical efficiency in the main apple-producing areas. The results showed that labor transfer had an obvious negative effect on apple production. The labor transfer at the national level has had an obvious negative impact on the output of the apple industry, and the impact of labor transfer on the technical efficiency of China’s apple industry is significantly different; that is, the impact of labor outflow on the technical efficiency of apple production is different in different regions. In some areas, the technical efficiency of production in the main apple-producing areas can be significantly improved. Finally, the proportion of the labor force showed significant differences in its effect on technical efficiency in different stages of urbanization.

“…This limits the assistance in decision-making and recommendations are then based on pairwise comparisons of alternatives that respect three principles: the focus effect, the compatibility with strict pareto-dominance, and the restricted compensation [57]; that generally account for a wider satisfaction of one alternative, compared to another, in the most important criteria. Quantitative-based reasoning procedures, alternatively, account for very refined aggregation methods [57] and their use, particularly with FLS, is very extended in fuzzy multicriteria decision-making in the literature, with multiple applications in fuzzy versions of crisp-existing techniques: among others, F-VIKOR [18-19;48-49], F-TOPSIS [46;50-51], F-ELECTRE [40;52-53], and F-PROMETHEE [54][55][56].…”

“…e ELECTRE and PROMETHEE do not need the process of nondimensionalization, which often leads to the lack of information and results [35]. In addition, fuzzy mathematics methods are also used, but there is a lot of uncertainty and subjectivity in the designing of fuzzy sets [36][37][38][39]. ese methods is complex and not applicable for the evaluation of HRE schemes.…”

The renovation and expansion of highway is a technical, comprehensive, and complex work, and the determination of its optimal scheme requires the consideration of multiple factors. In the process of highway construction, road engineers attempt to select an optimal scheme with the aim of saving cost, reducing construction difficulties, and protecting environment. It is difficult to assess because of the large number of attribute indices and the diversity of data distribution. In order to scientifically evaluate the comprehensive benefits of highway reconstruction and extension (HRE) schemes, an evaluation model of HRE scheme based on multiple attribute decision making (MADM) was established. This paper constructed the evaluation index system of HRE based on the four aspects of technology, economy, environmental impact, and landscape. This paper has made two major improvements. First, a method was proposed to determine the weight of evaluation index by coupling fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) with difference driven principle (DDP). Then, technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was optimized by grey relational analysis (GRA) method. Finally, the MADA evaluation model is utilized to analyze the ranking of optimal scheme selection problem by relative closeness as a decision index. The results showed that the subjective intention of decision makers was considered and also fully the objective information of data itself was fully mined. The optimal scheme was scheme 3 through the analysis of five HRE schemes. This model highlighted the differences among the schemes and also avoided the problem of excessive differences. The results were consistent with the actual situation, verifying the feasibility and practicability of the model.
