Abstract
The current research makes three main contributions to the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) literature. First, when using DEA to derive an efficiency score for a given DMU, it is normally assumed that each and every DMU has its own unique set of inputs and outputs, there are situations whereby a DMU can have a factor that is shared with other DMUs. This means that one must view efficiency from the perspective of groups of DMUs rather than from the perspective of the individual DMU. Second, two stage problems can, in the presence of shared factors, result in different groupings of DMUs in one stage than in another. Third, in certain circumstances efficiency can be viewed from the perspective of multiple attributes (e.g. different types of tourism). Herein, we develop a model to cater for these features and illustrate the model using a data set on tourism in Mexico.
期刊介绍：
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
