Introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis and Its Uses : With DEA-Solver Software and References
Recent years have seen a great variety of applications of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for use in evaluating the performances of many different kinds of entities engaged in many different activities in many different contexts in many different countries. One reason is that DEA has opened up possibilities for use in cases which have been resistant to other approaches because of the complex (often unknown) nature of the relations between multiple inputs and multiple outputs involved in many of these activities (which are often reported in non-commeasurable units). It provide a systematic introduction to DEA and its uses as a multifaceted tool for evaluating problems in a variety of contexts.
