Abstract
Most traditional DEA models treat their reference technologies as black boxes. Our network models, developed for the Swedish Institute for Health Economics (IHE), allow us to look into these boxes and to evaluate organizational performance and its component performance. The very general structure of the network model allows us to apply this model to a variety of situations: intermediate products, allocation of budgets or fixed factors and certain (time separable) dynamic systems.

A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

The purpose of this chapter is to study productivity change in Swedish hospitals during the time period from 1970 to 1985 to identify individual hospitals exhibiting patterns of change in productivity that differ from the rest of the industry.

It is found that the decomposition of production into subproduction processes reduces the dimensions of problem specification, with the effect that a larger number of variables may be usefully included in the model.

The traditional non-parametric or DEA models measure efficiency for given inputs and outputs without allowing for reallocation of inputs, but this paper modeling the possibility of reallocated of a fixed input opens up the box.

Dynamic Production Models

Dynamic production models allow a decision in one period to influence the outcomes in other periods so that time interdependence is the essence of a dynamic model.
