One can use the Variable-Benchmark Model and the Envelopment Model to calculate the non-CRS Malmquist productivity ind Suppose we have two periods A and B. We need to run four (4) DEA models to calculate the Malmquist productivity index. The Model-1: DEA efficiency in period A Model-2: DEA efficiency in period B

Model-3: Efficiency of period A with respect to period B; namely, period B is used as a reference set and period A is under eva

Model-4: Efficiency of period B with respect to period A; namely, period A is used as a reference set and period B is under eva

For example, if one wants to calculate VRS Malmquist productivity index. One can use the DEFrontier in the following s Step 1: Using the VRS Envelopment Model to calculate Model-1 and Model 2; Step 2: Using the VRS Variable-Benchmark Model to calculate Model-3 and Model-4. To calculate Model-3, put the period B data in sheet "Benchmarks" and put the period A data in sheet "DMUs"; To calculate Model-4, put the period A data in sheet "Benchmarks" and put the period B data in sheet "DMUs".

Step 3: Once all the efficiency scores are generated, one can calculate the Malmquist productivity index. Note that you will get

The user can specify the value of Epsilon in the model. The default Epsilon = 0) Assurance Region Model. The user can impose ratios bounds among inputs, among outputs, and among inputs and outputs The user can use the Multiplier Model to get the related results Additive DEA Models where the objective function is the (weighted) sum of input/output slacks for uncontrollable inputs/outputs. The inputs/outputs selected are the controllable ones.) It also provides RTS Classification
