Purpose: Measuring intertemporal efficiency variations (such as window analysis and the Malmquist index) has always been an interesting topic in the field of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). However, these methods overlook carry-over activities across two consecutive periods. Instead, they focus independently on individual time periods while also taking the time variation effect into account. In the real world of commerce, long planning and investment times can be a source of concern. To adapt to the long-time view, dynamic DEA integrates carry-over activities into the model and allows us to measure the special function of the period based on the long-term optimization during the whole period. Accordingly, dynamic analysis is needed when the data are available.Methodology: The present paper proposes the double-frontier dynamic DEA for simultaneously measuring system efficiency and period efficiency for multitemporal systems in which quasi-fixed input or interstitial periods are the source of intertemporal dependence between consecutive periods.Findings: To illustrate this approach, an example is presented from the forests of Taiwan where the forest entity acts as the quasi-fixed input.Originality/Value: In addition to the optimistic efficiency of the decision-making unit, this approach also considers its pessimistic efficiency. Compared with the traditional dynamic DEA, the double-frontier dynamic DEA approach has a higher differential power in identifying better-performing systems.

Purpose: In the tourism industry, it is crucial to attract foreign tourists while keeping costs low. To achieve this, a suitable model with a high rank in attracting tourists at a low cost must be found. This article aims to provide a scientific framework for ranking European practices in the tourism industry. By evaluating and ranking European countries based on data coverage analysis in the tourism industry, the goal is to identify efficient countries in this industry and examine the impact of their entry and exit, which is the same number of incoming tourists in a year.Methodology: Using the DEA method, European countries have been ranked based on their performance in the tourism industry in 2019. This was determined by analyzing their expenses in various sectors and level of tourist attraction. The ranking identifies the countries that are most efficient in the tourism industry.Findings: The countries of Spain, France, Croatia, Denmark, Poland, and Hungary were identified as the most cost-effective tourist destinations in 2019, based on the cross-efficiency method.Originality/Value: It is possible for tourism organizations in Iran to attract tourists with a low cost model based on a study of the European tourism industry.

Purpose: Today, the survival of organizations and maintaining and developing the position of industries in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and creating sustainable employment depend on the adaptation and coordination of knowledge, skills and expertise of human resources with scientific advances and technological changes. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of technological, organizational and environmental factors on the use of artificial intelligence in the recruitment process of employees.Methodology: The research of the present study was based on the purpose of an applied research, and in terms of the method, it was a descriptive-survey study. The statistical sample of the present study consisted of 351 senior and middle managers of companies active in the wood industry. A questionnaire was used to collect research data. After collecting data through questionnaire, data analysis was done using structural equation modeling method in SmartPLS software.Findings: The results of data analysis showed that technological, organizational and environmental factors have a positive and significant effect on the use of artificial intelligence in the process of recruiting employees. The use of artificial intelligence in the process of recruiting employees as a pioneering innovation helps organizations to move towards the realization of their goals by interacting with human resources.Originality/Value: Using artificial intelligence in the process of hiring employees can have many benefits, including saving time, cost, and reducing discrimination in choices.
