Strengths and weaknesses of common sustainability indices for multidimensional systems. (2008, background): “Alternatives to equal weights include weighting based on: the opinions of sustainability experts (Diaz-Balteiro and Romero, 2004); the opinions of people living in the system (OlallaTárraga, 2006); and weights based on normative social choice theory (Clarke and Islam, 2006).”
A non-radial DEA approach to measuring environmental performance (2007, methodology): “In this line of research, multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have been widely explored and applied, as reflected in the recent publication by Diaz-Balteiro and Romero (2004). Such methods used can be considered as the ‘‘indirect’’ approach.”
Making forestry decisions with multiple criteria: A review and an assessment (2008, background): “Following up this idea, Diaz-Balteiro and Romero (2004b) proposed a flexible formula for measuring the overall sustainability of natural systems.”
A mathematical programming approach to constructing composite indicators (2007, background): “See, for example, Munda and Nardo (2003), Diaz-Balteiro and Romero (2004), Ebert and Welsch (2004), Krajnc and Glaviè (2005), Munda (2005), Nardo et al. (2005), Hajkowicz (2006), Zhou et al. (2006a).”
When to use what: Methods for weighting and aggregating sustainability indicators (2017, unknown): “For example, Dıáz-Balteiro and Romero (2004) introduced a function: ∑= − + = SI λ min ω I λ ω I(1 )[ ( )] , i i i i m i i 1 (1) where λ∈[0,1] is a compensation parameter, and ωi is the weight for indicator Ii.”
