Estimating Marginal Rates of Substitution in Two-Stage Processes With Undesirable Factors

Trade-offs between production factors such as marginal rates of substitution are significant aspects for decision makers and managers. Due to the complexity of processes and the presence of undesirable measures in many real-world applications, in this study, the relative efficiency and marginal rates of substitution are calculated in two-stage structures including weakly disposable undesirable intermediate measures. Actually, an approach based...
