Abstract: In this paper, we examine the implications of using different strongly efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) as the Most Preferred Solution (MPS) in Value Efficiency Analysis (VEA) models with variable returns to scale. We provide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmateco.2018.12.003

Abstract: Abstract Modeling “quasiconcavity” and “variable returns to scale” simultaneously is a challenging task. This paper defines variable returns to scale vigorously and explores its relationships with elasticity of scale and S-shaped functions. To check empirical… read more here.
