Citations in the corpus
- An automatic-democratic approach to weight setting for the new human development index (2012, unknown): “Perhaps the earliest such application was by Mahlberg and Obersteiner (2001) who were attracted to DEA because of its ‘scientific’ approach.”
- Setting weights in multidimensional indices of well-being (2008, methodology): “Mahlberg and Obersteiner (2001) proposes a specific application to the Human Development Index, and Ramos and Silber (2005) compare the approach to alternative ones.”
- Weights in Multidimensional Indices of Wellbeing: An Overview (2013, unknown): “Recently, it has been used in the construction of well-being indices (Mahlberg and Obersteiner 2001, Despotis 2005a, Despotis 2005b) and of deprivation (Zaim, Fare, and Grosskopf 2001).”
- Robust human development rankings (2008, methodology): “…2002; Mazumdar, 2003; Chakravarty, 2003), whereas others have primarily focused on the method of aggregating/weighting the di¤erent components (e.g., Noorbakhsh, 1988; Sagar and Najam, 1998; Mahlberg and Obersteiner, 2001; Dowrick et al., 2003; Lind, 2004; Despotis, 2005; Chatterjee, 2005).”
- An Introduction to ‘Benefit of the Doubt’ Composite Indicators (2007, background): “For example, it has been used to gauge countries’ performance with regard to aggregate deprivation (Zaim et al., 2001), to provide an alternative weighting system for the Human Development Index (Mahlberg and Obersteiner, 2001; Despotis, 2005), or as a generalized gauge for Sustainable Development (”
- Creating composite indicators with DEA and robustness analysis: the case of the Technology Achievement Index (2008, unknown): “Similarly, some authors have proposed a DEA-based model for the well-known Human Development Index (Mahlberg and Obersteiner, 2001; Despotis, 2005).”
