Data envelopment analysis: The evolution of the state of the art (1978–1995)
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to briefly trace the evolution of DEA from the initial publication by Charnes et al. (1978b) to the current state of the art (SOA).

A unified framework for the selection of a Flexible Manufacturing System
Jen Shang,Toshiyuki Sueyoshi +1 more
TL;DR: This study finally identifies the most efficient FMS system by applying weight flexibility restriction and cross efficiency methods to rectify the difficulty.

A multiple criteria approach to data envelopment analysis
Xiao-Bai Li,Gary R. Reeves +1 more
TL;DR: A Multiple Criteria Data Envelopment Analysis model is presented which can be used to improve discriminating power of DEA methods and also effectively yield more reasonable input and output weights without a priori information about the weights.

Measuring the research performance of UK economics departments: an application of data envelopment analysis
Geraint Johnes,Jill Johnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the research output of economics departments in U.K. universities is assessed using data envelopment analysis and the results obtained are sensitive to the inclusion or absence of external funding as an input into the research process.

Research Funding and Performance in U.K. University Departments of Economics: A Frontier Analysis.
Jill Johnes,Geraint Johnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to investigate the technical efficiency of U.K. university departments of economics as producers of research and the role of external funding of research as an input into the research process.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

Evaluating Program and Managerial Efficiency: An Application of Data Envelopment Analysis to Program Follow Through
TL;DR: A model for measuring the efficiency of Decision Making Units =DMU's is presented, along with related methods of implementation and interpretation, and suggests the additional possibility of new approaches obtained from PFT-NFT combinations which may be superior to either of them alone.

Evaluating the administrative efficiency of courts
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), is proposed to evaluate the administrative efficiency of a court in terms of the Pareto optimality.
