摘要: This paper evaluates the efficiency of National Basketball Association (NBA) teams under a two-stage DEA framework. Applying the additive efficiency approach, we decompose overall team efficiency into first-stage wage efficiency and second-stage on-court efficiency and find out the individual endogenous weights for each stage. The empirical results show that NBA teams present a better performance on wage efficiency than for on-court efficiency, as on-court efficiency is influenced by many uncontrollable factors. Moreover, NBA teams, on average, tend to possess a higher weight on the first stage, suggesting that teams’ managers can enhance organizational efficiency more efficaciously by prudentially recruiting players. 其他題名: Ann Oper Res 出版者: Boston: Springer US 出版日期: 2014-06-01 出處: Annals of operations research, 2014-06, Vol.217 (1), p.565-589 資源來源: ABI/INFORM Collection 版權: Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 識別號: ISSN: 0254-5330 識別號: EISSN: 1572-9338 識別號: DOI: 10.1007/s10479-014-1536-3
