Improving Service Performance in Banking using Quality Adjusted Data Envelopment Analysis [PDF]
The goal of this research is to describe the application of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to the performance evaluations of bank branches. Special attention is focused on how to incorporate the quality dimension into branch efficiency.

Inferring the Latent Incidence of Inefficiency from DEA Estimates and Bayesian Priors [PDF]
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is among the most popular empirical tools for measuring cost and productive efficiency. Because DEA is a linear programming technique, establishing formal statistical properties for outcomes is difficult.

MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE OF TWO-STAGE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS WITH SHARED INPUTS BY DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS [PDF]
As a non-parametric technique in Operations Research and Economics, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) evaluates the relative efficiency of peer production systems or decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple inputs and outputs.

Scale properties in data envelopment analysis [PDF]
Recently there has been some discussion in the literature concerning the nature of scale properties in the Data Envelopment Model (DEA). It has been argued that DEA may not be able to provide reliable estimates of the optimal scale size. We argue in this

Strategic groups based on marginal rates : an application to the Spanish banking industry. [PDF]
This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to identify strategic groups (SGs) in the Spanish banking industry. The concept of SG relies on the fact that firms grouped together value inputs and outputs in the same way.
