Admissible points of a convex polyhedron

In this paper, we present several new properties of the admissible points of a convex polyhedron. These properties can be classified into two categories. One category concerns the characterization and generation of these points. The other category concerns the circumstances under which these points are efficient solutions for linear multiple-objective programs with nonnegative criteria matrices. To illustrate some of the potential utility of these properties, we describe their application to two practical problems. These problems are the linear multiple-objective problem with interval coefficients and the problem of optimizing over the efficient set.This research was supported, in part, by the Center for Econometrics and Decision Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.     

Finding efficient solutions for rectilinear distance location problems efficiently

Given n planar existing facility locations, a planar new facility location X is called efficient if there is no other location Y for which the rectilinear distance between Y and each existing facility is at least as small as between X and each existing facility, and strictly less for at least one existing facility. Rectilinear distances are typically used to measure travel distances between points via rectilinear aisles or street networks. We first present a simple arrow algorithm, based entirely on geometrical analysis, that constructs all efficient locations. We then present a row algorithm which is of order n(log n) that constructs all efficient locations, and establish that no alternative algorithm can be of a lower order.

Stochastic production frontiers and panel data: A latent variable framework

This paper deals with the issue of estimating production frontier and measuring efficiency from a panel data set. First, it proposes an alternate method for the estimation of a production frontier on a short panel data set. The method is based on the so-called mean-and-covariance structure analysis which is closely related to the generalized method of moments. One advantage of the method is that it allows us to investigate the presence of correlations between individual effects and exogenous variables without the requirement of some available instruments uncorrelated with the individual effects as in instrumental variable estimation. Another advantage is that the method is well suited to a panel data set with a short number of periods. Second, the paper considers the question of recovering individual efficiency levels from the estimates obtained from the mean-and-covariance structure analysis. Since individual effects are here viewed as latent variables, they can be estimated as factor scores, i.e., weighted sums of the observed variables. We illustrate the proposed methods with the estimation of a stochastic production frontier on a short panel data of French fruit growers.     

Chapter 8 Estimating production frontier shifts: An application of DEA to technology assessment

Evaluating the separate impacts of factors which affect the productive efficiency of organizations is difficult. This is because the impact of a factor is often contingent on other organizational, managerial or environmental characteristics. Standard econometric methods are limited in their ability to discriminate between efficient and inefficient units, and often impose considerable structure in parametrically specified functional forms. We show how a nonparametric data envelopment approach can be employed to focus on the best that can be achieved, with and without the key characteristic of interest. We illustrate the approach with real data from the service sector requiring the evaluation of the impact of a new information technology. The analytical technique estimates the annual savings in materials cost for an average store using the information technology to be over $4,000 (2.04% of materials cost), well in excess of the amortized annual cost for its installation. Establishing the separation in the production frontier in different regions, we show that the information technology had a substantially larger impact for the bigger stores. The savings were about 80% greater in the larger volume stores than in the smaller volume operations, an important consideration in setting the priorities for installation. The illustration underscores the flexibility of DEA in detecting different impacts of a new technology in different environments.     

Proper efficiency and duality for a class of constrained multiobjective fractional optimal control problems containing arbitrary norms

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for properly efficient solutions of a class of nonsmooth nonconvex optimal control problems with multiple fractional objective functions, linear dynamics, and nonlinear inequality constraints on both the state and control variables. Subsequently, we utilize these proper efficiency criteria to construct two multiobjective dual problems and prove appropriate duality theorems. Also, we specialize and discuss these results for a particular case of our principal problem which contains square roots of positivesemidefinite quadratic forms. As special cases of the main proper efficiency and duality results, this paper also contains similar results for control problems with multiple, fractional, and ordinary objective functions.

Maximizing a Linear Fractional Function on a Pareto Efficient Frontier

We consider the problem of maximizing a linear fractional function on the Pareto efficient frontier of two other linear fractional functions. We present a finite pivoting-type algorithm that solves the maximization problem while computing simultaneously the efficient frontier. Application to multistage efficiency analysis is discussed. An example demonstrating the computational procedure is included.
