Incorporating both undesirable outputs and uncontrollable variables into DEA: The performance of Chinese coal-fired power plants (2009, positive): “So in a different approach to that used in Fried et al. (1999, 2002), both of which used VRS DEA as their first-stage technology, this research adopts CRS DEA instead.”

Investment efficiency of the new energy industry in China (2017, methodology): “Fried et al. (2002) propose a semi-parametric three-stage DEA approach with particular attention to input and output slacks.”
Identifying and Ranking the Determinants of Tourism Performance (2012, methodology): “We used here the Fried et al. (2002) procedure to adjust our outputs for environmental differences between the countries involved.”
Introducing Environmental Variables in Nonparametric Frontier Models: a Probabilistic Approach (2005, neutral): “Now we introduce the dependency on Z in the latter expression as follows: Z ∼ Uniform(1, 4) 16 • Case 1, Z is favorable to output production but differently for Y (1) than for Y (2).”
Data envelopment analysis 1978-2010: A citation-based literature survey (2013, methodology): “FriedLSY2002 [43] propose a variation of the two-stage analysis that allows incorporating the effects of external factors into DEAbased performance evaluation.”
Public sector efficiency: leveling the playing field between OECD countries (2008, neutral): “The SFA regression models are interpreted very similar to the analysis of Fried et al. (2002). The impact of both the environment and noise on Stage 1 efficiency scores is”
Estimation and inference in two-stage, semi-parametric models of production processes (2007, methodology): “In a slight variation on this approach, Fried et al. (1993, 1999b, 2002) regressed radial and non-radial slacks on environmental variables.”
