Abstract. This paper introduces two classes of location problems with interconnected facilities. These problems dif- fer from classical location problems in the sense that the facilities to be located must be interconnected, i.e. located within a prescribed distance of a central […]

Abstract. The aggregation of multiple metrics of corporate social performance (CSP) poses one of the major problems in CSP research. In this paper we propose a new method to compute a composite indicator of CSP from an efficiency perspective using data envelopment analysis. The new approach makes […]

Abstract. This paper introduces the concept of cooperative users in facility location problems with a median or a covering objective. Cooperative users can act as intermediate facilities which are more accessible than primary facilities to excentric users. Four versions of location problems with cooperative users are modeled, […]

Abstract. We analyse the situation involving several transport companies in an intermodal public transport system. It is assumed that they cooperate by offering travel cards which can be used on all available means of transport. In order to […]

Abstract. A methodological approach for modelling the spatial multivariate distribution of mul- tiple bioclimatic indices is presented. The value of the indices is modelled by means of a Bayesian conditional coregionalised linear model. Elicitation of prior […]

Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of allocating the revenues generated by subscription fees, advertising, and pay-per-view in a Smart TV (STV) ecosystem between the provider of the Internet TV service and the content producers. The goal […]

Abstract. We deal with the feasible set mapping of linear inequality systems under right-hand side perturbations. From a version of Farkas lemma for difference of convex functions, we derive an operative relationship between calmness constants for this […]

Abstract. In this paper, we measure and decompose revenue inefficiency over time while accounting for all sources of technical inefficiencies. Our proposed decomposition exploits the dual relationship between the weighted additive distance function and revenue inefficiency in Aparicio et al. With the aid […]

Abstract. Incentive plans involve payments for performance relative to some set of goals. In this paper, we extend Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to the evaluation of performance in the specific […]
