An evaluation framework for oil import security based on the supply chain with a case study focused on China (2013, unknown): “Differing from another two-phase DEA-like model proposed by Despotis (2005), which focused on evaluation of the Human development index, our model takes the realistic import security issue into consideration and makes restrictions on the weights to ensure that the evaluation is more reliable.”
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”
Some models and measures for evaluating performances with DEA: past accomplishments and future prospects (2007, methodology): “See also Despotis (2005) who adapts a similar approach and uses DEA to improve upon the ‘‘Human Development Index’’ used by the United Nations in 160 J Prod Anal (2007) 28:151–163”
Trajectories of efficiency measurement: A bibliometric analysis of DEA and SFA (2015, background): “…Human development and composite indicators (107 / 4.17 / 1.74) Reassessment and measurement of the human development index for different countries (Despotis, 2005a; Despotis, 2005b) Construction of composite indicators using DEA (Cherchye et al., 2007; Cherchye et al., 2008; Zhou et…”
An automatic-democratic approach to weight setting for the new human development index (2012, unknown): “…norm (t = 0) and the L1 norm (t = 1): Varying the parameter t between these two extreme values, we provide the model with the flexibility to ‘compromise’ between the two norms and to explore different sets of common weights and consequently different global efficiency patterns (Despotis 2005a).”
Evaluation of performance of European cities with the aim to promote quality of life improvements (2011, methodology): “Despotis [12], for instance, focused on the method of weighting/aggregation of different components and proposed the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to reduce the inherent subjectivity associated to the specification of weights.”
Assessment of Intellectual Capital Management in Taiwanese IC Design Companies: Using DEA and the Malmquist Productivity Index (2006, unknown): “…of high-technology firms from various perspectives, including manpower (Reitsperger et al., 1993; Thore et al., 1996; Cooper et al., 2001; Despotis, 2005), cost (Kozmetsky and Yue, 1998; Kauffmann and Unal, 2000), technology (Linton and Cook, 1998; SubbaNarasimha et al., 2003), R&D (Oral…”
On the Methodological Framework of Composite Indices: A Review of the Issues of Weighting, Aggregation, and Robustness (2018, methodology): “Due to the desirable properties of the endogenously calculated differential weighting, applications in the literature follow suit (e.g. Takamura and Tone 2003; Despotis 2005a; Murias et al.”
