| Summary: | Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a popular linear programming
technique is useful to rate comparatively operational effiency
of decision Making Unit (DMU) based on the their deterministic inputoutput
data. The Malmquist productivity index in DEA, calculable
with the distance function, for measurement the productivity change
among two variant time period or two variant group in the same time.
This index is based on two factor of efficiency change index and a
technological change index. In this paper, we operate on the collective
Malmquist productivity index, which performs clustering operation
DMUs with classification into different levels of efficient frontier,
and then we discuss on the relation between Malmquist index on the
efficiency layers and their attractiveness and progress |
