The various DEA models are developed as nonparametric alternatives to the econometric models. Apart from the standard fare consisting of the basic input- and output-oriented DEA models formulated by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes, and Banker, Charnes, and Cooper, the book covers developments such as the directional distance function, free disposal hull (FDH) analysis, non-radial measures of efficiency, multiplier bounds, mergers and break-up of firms, and measurement of productivity change through the Malmquist total factor productivity index. The chapter on efficiency measurement using market prices provides the critical link between DEA and the neo-classical theory of a competitive firm. The book also covers several forms of stochastic DEA in detail. 606 $aData envelopment analysis 606 $aProduction (Economic theory) 615 0$aData envelopment analysis. 615 0$aProduction (Economic theory) 676 $a338.4/5/01 700 $aRay$b Subhash C.$0499636 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784700103321 996 $aData envelopment analysis$9742534 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04745oam 2200541 450 001 9910135453103321 005 20200720185911.0 010 $a1-78785-106-0 010 $a1-118-35494-X 010 $a1-118-35493-1 035 $a(CKB)3780000000096193 035 $a(PPN)242151388 035 $a(OCoLC)918986668 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000096193 100 $a20150818h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 01$aA companion to the Etruscans /$fedited by Sinclair Bell and Alexandra A.

The volume includes contributions from an international cast of established and emerging scholars, and offers perspectives on Etruscan art and culture, including analysis of the most up-to-date research and archaeological discoveries. The authors reassess and evaluate traditional topics like architecture, wall painting, ceramics, and sculpture as well as new ones such as textile archaeology, while also addressing themes that have yet to be thoroughly investigated in the scholarship, such as the obesus etruscus, the function and use of jewelry at different life stages, Greek and Roman topoi about the Etruscans, the Etruscans' reception of ponderation, and more. This volume counters the claim that the Etruscans were culturally inferior to the Greeks and Romans by emphasizing fields where the Etruscans were either technological or artistic pioneers and by reframing similarities in style and iconography as examples of Etruscan agency and reception rather than as a deficit of local creativity. 410 0$aBlackwell companions to the ancient world.$pAncient history. 606 $aEtruscans 606 $aArt, Etruscan 606 $aEtruscan language 615 0$aEtruscans. 615 0$aArt, Etruscan. 615 0$aEtruscan language. 676 $a937/.501 702 $aBell$b Sinclair 702 $aCarpino$b Alexandra Ann 801 0$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135453103321 996 $aCompanion to the Etruscans$91758105 997 $aUNINA
