Abstract :

Financial firms and institutes are evaluated based on comparisons between financial ratios. There are various techniques for evaluating the performance of firms based on ratios such as the liquidity ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, and so forth. In this study, firms with a two-stage network structure are evaluated using the Ratio Analysis technique. One advantage to the models proposed within a network structure herein is that they provide a comparison between the nonparametric method data envelopment analysis and ratio analysis in the analysis of financial ratios.
