LEAST DISTANCE BASED INEFFICIENCY MEASURES ON THE PARETO-EFFICIENT FRONTIER IN DEA (2012, methodology): “Following the works by Afrait [1], Charnes et al. [7] and Banker et al. [4], T is traditionally formulated as the minimal weakly monotonic convex hull (conical hull) containing all DMUs.”
Stochastic non-smooth envelopment of data: semi-parametric frontier estimation subject to shape constraints (2012, methodology): “Based on Theorems 3.1 and 3.2, we can give function minĝ the following minimum extrapolation interpretation (compare with Afriat, 1972, and Banker et al., 1984): function minĝ is the minimum function that satisfies the axioms of free disposability and concavity and minimizes the sample variance…”
WHEN BIAS KILLS THE VARIANCE: CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREMS FOR DEA AND FDH EFFICIENCY SCORES (2014, unknown): “Afriat (1972, Thm. 1.1) defines a left- (but not right-) continuous function similar to the FDH estimator ̂FDH(Xn) for the case p ≥ 1, q = 1. However, ̂FDH(Xn) is not a function and is defined for arbitrary p ≥ 1 as well as q ≥ 1. Moreover, Afriat’s function does not permit measurement of efficiency”
Efficiency Analysis: A Primer on Recent Advances (2014, methodology): “An alternative approach to recover estimates of β and the parameters of the distributions of v and u is to use modified ordinary least squares (MOLS) which was first proposed by Afriat (1972) and Richmond (1974).”
One-stage estimation of the effects of operational conditions and practices on productive performance: asymptotically normal and efficient, root-n consistent StoNEZD method (2011, background): “Kuosmanen (2008) has shown that the set of continuous, monotonic increasing and globally concave regression functions can be equivalently represented by a family of piece-wise linear functions that are characterized using the Afriat inequalities (Afriat, 1967, 1972).”
Other Regarding Preferences: A Selective Survey of Experimental Results (2012, background): “Play in a learning model of this sort does 33 In the three player case the proportion of subjects whose behavior is completely consistent with GARP rises to 25%.”
A new frontier approach to model the eco-efficiency in European countries (2015, methodology): “, 1978) is based on the previous work of Afriat (1972), Boles (1966), Bressler (1966), Farrell (1957), among others. DEA uses linear programming to construct a non-parametric piece-wise linear production frontier using different return to scales, and the possibility of multiple inputs and multiple o”
