Off the shelf (OTS)
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an established nonparametric methodology used to assess the efficiency, performance and productivity of organisations. There are numerous reported applications of DEA, including in the public and private sectors.
In this session we will give a general introduction to the notions of efficiency of organisations and consider several established DEA models used for the analysis. Theoretical development will be supported by practical exercises, including a case study of interest to the public service.
