Data envelopment analysis and its application in education |
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a relatively new nonparametric approach for evaluating the performance of complex entities called Decision Making Units (DMUs) which convert multiple inputs into multiple outputs. In a relatively short period of time Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has grown into a powerful, quantitative, analytical tool for measuring efficiency of decision making units. DEA has been successfully applied in many different fields in worldwide. This paper provides introduction to DEA and describes the application of Data Envelopment Analysis in education.
