Riassunto

This Handbook has been developed as a comprehensive reference for researchers, students and practitioners. It reflects the state-of-the-art in Data Envelopment Analysis. It also represents a milestone in the progression of a continuously advancing methodology. which has extensive utility. Written by experts - who are the major research contributors to the topics covered - the Handbook is organized in three sections. The first section is a comprehensive examination of the basic DEA models and DEA extensions. The second section consists of a collection of coverages by persons experienced in applications to the areas of banking, education, sports, retailing, health care, etc. The final section is a review of current DEA software technology.
