Recent years have seen a great variety of applications of DEA (Data Envelopment
Analysis) for use in evaluating the performance 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 the multiple inputs and
multiple outputs involved in many of these activities (which are often reported
in non-commeasurable units). Examples include the maintenance activities of
U.S. Air Force bases in different geographic locations, or police forces in
England and Wales as well as performances of branch banks in Cyprus and Canada
and the efficiency of universities in performing their education and research
functions in the U.S., England and France. These kinds of applications extend
to evaluating the performances of cities, regions and countries with many
different kinds of inputs and outputs that include "social" and "safety-net"
expenditures as inputs and various "quality-of-life" dimensions as outputs.
DEA SolverPro™ is designed on the basis of the textbook: Data Envelopment Analysis-A Comprehensive Text with Models, Applications, References and DEA-Solver Software, by W.W. Cooper, L.M. Seiford and K. Tone, 2nd edition (Springer 2006).
