Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the main Brazilian port terminals specialized in the operation of containers between the years 2010 and 2014. Therefore, it was applied Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and some of its complementary models, represented by the Cross Evaluation, in order to implement a peer-evaluation and improve the discrimination of the 100% efficient terminal; and a current model known as DEA-Game Cross Efficiency that combines DEA and Game Theory. This article proposes an adaptation to the original model, since it considers a radial output orientation, regarded as more compatible with the problem under analysis. DEA-Game was applied for the first time in port performance measurement and it was shown more suitable than the others, since the Decision Making Units (DMU) are seen from the perspective of a non-cooperative game and the results proved to be a Nash equilibrium.
本研究的目的是评估主要的巴西港口码头专门在2010年和2014年之间的集装箱操作。为此,采用数据包络分析(DEA)及其互补模型,以交叉评价为代表,实现同行评价,提高对100%高效终端的辨别能力;以及结合DEA和博弈论的DEA-博弈交叉效率模型。本文提出了一种对原模型的改进,因为它考虑了径向输出方向,被认为更符合所分析的问题。DEA-Game首次应用于港口绩效测量,由于决策单元(Decision Making Units, DMU)是从一个非合作博弈的角度来看待的,结果证明了DEA-Game是一个纳什均衡,因此比其他方法更适合于港口绩效测量。
