A robust DEA model under discrete scenarios for assessing bank branches
Expert Systems with Applications. 2023. Vol. 219. Article 119694.
Conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) assesses the performance of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) by
measuring only one type of efficiency using definite data. However, due to the vastness of some industries, such
as banks, calculating only one type of efficiency cannot confirm DMUs as efficient or inefficient. Also, real-world cases are often faced with uncertain data, and conventional DEA lacks the power to consider these uncertainties in evaluation. In this paper, we develop a multi-objective DEA model to calculate three types of efficiencies, including profitability, operational, and transactional for bank branches when there are uncertain data. First, we apply a modified DEA model which is capable of calculating the common weight of all inputs and outputs by solving only one linear programming model. Then, we employ a robust approach to handle the uncertainty in data. The uncertainty in data is described with discrete scenarios. Discrete scenarios require a set of possible values for each parameter with uncertain nature. Finally, we apply a fuzzy programming method to convert the proposed multi-objective model into a single-objective one. Our main goal is to calculate three types of efficiencies for bank branches under four different scenarios. To validate the accuracy of the proposed model, a real case of 45 Agriculture bank branches located in West Azerbaijan in Iran is examined. The results show that the proposed model can produce accurate results under different scenarios. We also perform a comparative analysis on each efficiency aspect to specify the benchmark branches and also inefficient branches. Comparative analysis can help managers recognize where improvement should be prioritized.

Contemporary studies on Japanese science and technology (S&T) policy often focus on the limitations of various government initiatives in addressing the nation's developmental stagnation, overlooking distinctive institutional and policy features of its public-private sector symbiosis. This deprives policymakers of critical insights into demand-side governance mechanisms, including policy instruments and coordination frameworks. This research article provides ...

The number or proportion of independent directors is a key characteristic of corporate boards that is regulated in most jurisdictions. As a concept, independent directors have no relationship with the company other than board membership. In practice, independence is operationalized through regulatory criteria that determine who qualifies as an independent director. But to what extent ...

This work develops a tractable model of price competition in fragmented markets where consumers consider both local and distant varieties, with cross-regional purchases subject to stochastic costs. Global competition and full localization emerge as polar cases; hybrid competition is not merely intermediate and exhibits distinctive features such as an endogenous price ceiling and non-monotonic entry ...

This study presents on-the-fly identification and multi-step prediction of nonlinear systems with delayed inputs using a dynamic neural network combined with a smooth projection onto ellipsoids. The projection enforces parameter constraints that guarantee stability, while a Lyapunov–Krasovskii analysis yields computable ultimate error bounds. Riccati-type matrix inequalities are derived, providing an efficient vectorization–projection–devectorization implementation suitable for ...
