Estimation of potential gains from bank mergers: A novel two-stage cost efficiency DEA model

This paper develops a novel two-stage cost efficiency model to estimate and decompose the potential gains from Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As). In this model, a hypothetical DMU is defined as a combination of two or more candidate DMUs. The hypothetical DMU would surpass the traditional Production Possibility Set (PPS). In order to solve the problem, a Merger Production Possibility Set (PPS_M) is constructed. The model minimizes the total cost of the hypothetical DMU while maintaining its outputs at the current level, and estimates the overall merger efficiency by comparing its minimal total cost with its actual cost. Moreover, the overall merger efficiency could be decomposed into technical efficiency, harmony efficiency, and scale efficiency. We show that the model can be extended to a two-stage structure and these efficiencies can be decomposed to both sub-systems. To show the usefulness of the proposed approach, we applied it to a real dataset of top 20 most competitive Chinese City Commercial Banks (CCBs). We concluded that (1) there exist considerably potential gains for the proposed merged banks. (2) It is also shown that the main impact on potential merger gains are from technical and harmony efficiency. (3) As an interesting result we found that the scale effect works against the merger, indicating that it is not favorable for a full-scale merger.     

A new method for evaluating decision making units in DEA

This paper provides a new structure in data envelopment analysis (DEA) for assessing the performance of decision making units (DMUs). It proposes a technique to estimate the DEA efficient frontier based on the Arash Method in a way different from the statistical inferences. The technique allows decisions in the target regions instead of points to benchmark DMUs without requiring any more information in the case of interval/fuzzy DEA methods. It suggests three efficiency indexes, called the lowest, technical and highest efficiency scores, for each DMU where small errors occur in both input and output components of the Farrell frontier, even if the data are accurate. These efficiency indexes provide a sensitivity index for each DMU and arrange both inefficient and technically efficient DMUs together while simultaneously detecting and benchmarking outliers. Two numerical examples depicted the validity of the proposed method.

Data Envelopment Analysis with Preference Structure

It is important to consider the decision making unit (DMU)'s or decision maker's preference over the potential adjustments of various inputs and outputs when data envelopment analysis (DEA) is employed. On the basis of the so-called Russell measure, this paper develops some weighted non-radial CCR models by specifying a proper set of ‘preference weights’ that reflect the relative degree of desirability of the potential adjustments of current input or output levels. These input or output adjustments can be either less or greater than one; that is, the approach enables certain inputs actually to be increased, or certain outputs actually to be decreased. It is shown that the preference structure prescribes fixed weights (virtual multiplier bounds) or regions that invalidate some virtual multipliers and hence it generates preferred (efficient) input and output targets for each DMU. In addition to providing the preferred target, the approach gives a scalar efficiency score for each DMU to secure comparability. It is also shown how specific cases of our approach handle non-controllable factors in DEA and measure allocative and technical efficiency. Finally, the methodology is applied with the industrial performance of 14 open coastal cities and four special economic zones in 1991 in China. As applied here, the DEA/preference structure model refines the original DEA model's result and eliminates apparently efficient DMUs.

A generalized additive, categorical model in data envelopment analysis

This paper considers efficiency of a Decision Making Unit (DMU) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a generalized additive model and a categorical structure. Specifically, it extends the categorical framework in DEA for controllable and noncontrollable situations, and it gives simple, but powerful, tests to determine whether or not a given DMU is efficient.     

基于SMAA和公共权重的决策单元效率评价与排序

在数据包络分析(DEA)中,公共权重模型是决策单元效率评价与排序的常用方法之一。与传统DEA模型相比,公共权重模型用一组公共的投入产出权重评价所有决策单元,评价结果往往更具有区分度且更为客观。本文考虑决策单元对排序位置的满意程度,提出了基于最大化最小满意度和最大化平均满意度两类新的公共权重模型。首先,基于随机多准则可接受度分析(SMAA)方法,计算出每个决策单元处于各个排名位置的可接受度;然后,通过逆权重空间分析,分别求得使最小满意度和平均满意度最大化的一组公共权重;最后,利用所求的公共权重,计算各决策单元的效率值及相应的排序。算例分析验证了本文提出的基于SMAA的公共权重模型用于决策单元效率评价与排序的可行性。     

Validating absolute weight bounds in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models

The Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) DEA model and its linear forms maximise the efficiency of the assessed decision making unit (DMU) and, at the same time, the ratio of this efficiency to the maximum efficiency taken across all the DMUs, the latter naturally always being equal to one. It has been shown recently that, in the presence of absolute weight bounds, these models may not maximise the ratio of these efficiencies, a fact that may cause problems with the interpretation and use of the optimal primal and dual solutions. For example, an inefficient DMU may have greater efficiency than its target unit for some weights. This paper investigates the problem in greater detail; it shows that, in the linear DEA model maximising the total virtual output of the assessed DMU, the problem occurs only if upper bounds are imposed on the output weights. A similar result is established for the model that minimises the total virtual input.
