International DEA Symposium 2004 September 5th – 6th 2004, Birmingham, UK
Submission Deadline 30th April 2004 (http://www.DEAzone.com/DEA2004)
Dear All
Apologies to those of you who are well aware of this and have received
other similar messages.
As an individual with research interests in the field of efficiency and
productivity analysis we would like to invite you to take part in the 4th
International Symposium of Data Envelopment Analysis; which will take
place at Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, UK, on 5th
and 6th September 2004.
Theoretical and empirical papers on Data Envelopment Analysis and the
related fields of Econometric Methods for Efficiency and Productivity
analysis, including Stochastic Frontier Analysis, are welcome.
Contributions from both the academic and the non-academic communities are
encouraged.
Papers submitted will be vetted by the organising committee. Accepted
papers will have the opportunity to be published in the Symposium
Proceedings.
A special issue of the Journal of Productivity Analysis covering papers
presented at the Symposium will also be published. We especially welcome
for this Special Issue papers on applications of DEA and econometric
methods especially those which offer a new insight into the workings of
the area of application or offer new methodological advances or
adaptations of existing models motivated by the application.
We have organised two special features for those relatively new to
research and getting their papers published in referred journals.
Firstly, there will be an informal session for them to present their full
paper or to discuss papers in progress. PhD students may also find this
session a good venue to present their work so far since there will be a
core of senior researchers committing to attending this session as
discussants.
Secondly a number of journal editors including Professors Sickles and
Thanassoulis of the Journal of Productivity Analysis, Professor Wallenius
of the European Journal of Operational Research, Professor Smith of the
Journal of Health Care Management Science will be in panel discussion to
offer advice on getting your papers published.
If you are interested in attending the conference and making a
presentation, please submit the abstract at http://www.DEAzone.com/DEA2004
or email a brief outline of your proposed talk (Abstract) not later than
30th April 2004 to Dr Ali Emrouznejad at: [log in to unmask] Please
indicate if you would wish to submit this paper or research findings
within the session for those relatively new to research. If so a full
paper or 20-page summary of the work in progress will need to be
submitted one month before the conference to the discussant.
Information about the conference can be found on
