This handbook covers DEA topics that are extensively used and solidly
based. The purpose of the handbook is to (1) describe and elucidate
the state of the field and (2), where appropriate, extend the frontier
of DEA research. It defines the state-of-the-art of DEA methodology
and its uses. This handbook is intended to represent a milestone in
the progression of DEA. Written by experts, who are generally major
contributors to the topics to be covered, it includes a comprehensive
review and discussion of basic DEA models, which, in the present issue
extensions to the basic DEA methods, and a collection of DEA
applications in the areas of banking, engineering, health care, and
services. The handbook's chapters are organized into two categories:
(i) basic DEA models, concepts, and their extensions, and (ii) DEA
applications. First edition contributors have returned to update their
work. The second edition includes updated versions of selected first
edition chapters. New chapters have been added on:
· Different approaches with no need for a priori
choices of weights (called “multipliers) that reflect meaningful
trade-offs. · Construction of static and dynamic DEA
technologies. · Slacks-based model and its extensions
· DEA models for DMUs that have internal structures
network DEA that can be used for measuring supply chain
operations.· Selection of DEA applications in the
service sector with a focus on building a conceptual framework,
research design and interpreting results.
