On some semilattice structures for production technologies

European Journal of Operational Research, 2011, vol. 215, issue 3, 740-749

Abstract: Tracing back from Charnes et al. [9] many approaches have been proposed to extend the DEA production model to non-convex technologies. The FDH method were introduced by Deprins et al. [13] and it only assumes a free disposal assumption of the technology. This paper, continues further an earlier work by Briec and Horvath [7]. Among other things, a new class of semilattice production technologies is introduced. Duality results as well as computational issues are proposed.
