Ecological Efficiency Measurement: An Operations Research Approach

Measurement of efficiency and ranking of Indian commercial banks are serious concern not only to the management of an individual bank but also to the policy maker.Non Performing Asset(NPA)reflect the risk factor of the concerned commercial bank. the banks should some how reduce NPAs in order to reduce their risk and become efficient.To measure ecological efficiency we can apply Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique.It can handle multiple inputs and multiple outputs with comfortable ease and it provide a bench mark frontier relative to which an inefficient bank is compared with an efficient one. this book has brought out with several proposed linear programming problems not only to measure ecological efficiency of decision making units, but implements the method to asses eco and deep eco-efficiency of Indian commercial banks.
