The efficiency of any organizations at manufacturing sector or service sector, profit making or non-profit making, is most important factor for survival and growth of the organization. The Data Envelopment Analysis (...The efficiency of any organizations at manufacturing sector or service sector, profit making or non-profit making, is most important factor for survival and growth of the organization. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique is one of the most popular and effective tool to measure relative efficiency hence is appropriate to make comparison among similar organizations with multiple output and input. This study performs frontier analysis and measures the relative efficiency of Nepalese commercial banks using DEA approach with two output and two input variables.展开更多

An extended observation vector is constructed to establish an ILS identification algorithm. Moreover, a variable forgetting factor is introduced to enhance the convergence rate of parameter estimation. For consistent estimation, an instrumental variable method is given to deal with the colored noise. The convergence and upper bound error of parameter estimation are analyzed. Two illustrative examples are used to show the effectiveness and merits of the proposed method.展开更多

For the lack of sufficient teehnique to deal with the trade between the research areas and the rest of the world, it it necessary to improve this method. And a dynamic analysis of the change of footprint based on I-O model, which could explore the factor impacting the footprint using the ,special advantage of I-O model, ought to be put into practice. After introducing the new method in detail, we calculate and compare the EF and the change of Gansu Province in the northwest of China in 1997 and 2002. The result shows that there was an increase of EF in 2002 caused by final domestic demand. Further; the inerement in EF export was 2.0 × 10^5 ha and 1.6 × 10^6 ha in import. The out-of- region support dropped from 22.6% to 18. 6%. We introduce three factors causing the EF change based on the character of I-O model: the productivity of the resourve which is explained by the change of resource used to obtain one unit output in a sector, the improvement of the economics and the final demand. Finally, we find that the effects of the three factors on the EF change are not identical except the industry sectors and the change of factors in the agriculture and the industry sectors works notably.展开更多
