Abstract
Data envelopment analysis (DEA), a “data-oriented” approach to evaluate the performance of a set of peer entities, has been widely used since it was first invented by Charnes. This is followed by a series of theoretical extensions. See Banker et al. [1], Charnes et al. [3], Petersen [12], Tone [14], and Cooper [6].
