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

A robust DEA model for measuring the relative efficiency of Iranian high schools [PDF]
Management Science Letters, 2011 One of the most important issues on educational systems is to measure the relative efficiency of similar units based on non-financial factors. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has become popular among many who wish to rank educational systems using ...

A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 580-605, January 2027.Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this

The method of data envelopment analysis as a tool for compiling a rating list [PDF]
The paper presents the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a tool for compiling rating lists in tasks of ordering elements of assemblages. We describe the differences that result from applying a one-dimensional model and multi-dimensional model,
