Using nonradial metafrontier data envelopment analysis to evaluate the metatechnology and metafactor ratios for the Taiwanese hotel industry

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to develop nonradial metafrontier data envelopment analysis (DEA). Previous studies commonly used assumptions involving the redial measure and convexity of metafrontier to evaluate efficiency and the technology gap. The two assumptions have limitations, and a model that modifies the two assumptions simultaneously has not been proposed. In this study, a nonradial metafrontier DEA is proposed that incorporates the assumptions of nonconvexity as well as the nonradial measure. The study also developed the MFR index for measuring the technology gap based on individual factors.

A decentralized production approach to measure fuel performance of bus transportation systems

“…Recently, there is growing concern regarding the usage of energy resources along with the minimal impact on the environment. For instance, studies that have used DEA to assess various sectors' and regions' energy and environmental efficiencies includes, Lenz et al (2018); Yang and Wei (2019); Huang and Chen (2023); Yan and Tan (2023).…”
