چکیده مقاله :
Unemployment is one of the most important economic problems in Iran, so that many of its managers plan to increase employment rates. Increasing the employment rate needs to increase economic productivity which DEA is one of the most appropriate evaluation methods for estimating the productivity of similar organizations. Employment in the amount of data input and output can be just interval. In this study by solving two models, using one of which the upper bound for efficiency and using the other, the lower bound for decision making units efficiency is acquired, we provide a new model for Most productive scale size with interval data. The main purpose of this study is to determine the productivity of Iran and sensitive indicators to provide a fundamental solution to exit from unemployment. The economic sector managers can do more exact planning for economic growth.
