Data Envelopment Analysis with GAMS

The book "Data Envelopment Analysis with GAMS" offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It explains how this non-parametric technique is used to measure the performance and efficiency of homogeneous units within a production process. The work positions DEA within the context of a growing discipline of productivity analysis and performance evaluation, where numerous models have been developed. The authors present all advancements in DEA models proposed in the literature and link them to the GAMS software, a powerful tool for mathematical programming models. The book fulfills two educational objectives: it introduces readers to DEA models and provides application examples using GAMS. Additionally, readers are introduced to programming with GAMS and gain insights into innovative and practical applications. The GAMS codes are available for free, allowing readers to test the models and adapt them to their specific needs.
