Does human capital or physical capital constrain output in Japanese prefectures?
This paper develops a dynamic–network DEA (data envelopment analysis) model where total output is jointly produced from two sectors: a human capital sector and a physical capital sector. Each prefecture produc...

Finding a maximal element of a non-negative convex set through its characteristic cone: an application to finding a strictly complementary solution
In order to express a polyhedron as the Minkowski sum of a polytope and a polyhedral cone, Motzkin (Beiträge zur Theorie der linearen Ungleichungen. Dissertation, University of Basel, 1936) devised a homogenizati...

Slacks-Based Measure of Efficiency
There are two types of models in DEA: radial and nonradial. Radial models are represented by the CCR (Charnes–Cooper–Rhodes) model. Basically, they deal with proportional changes of inputs or outputs. On the o...
