First, it extends the roots of DEA by providing an analytical approach deriving the basic Charnes- Cooper-Rhodes (1978) model from the Weak Axiom of Profit Maximization (WAPM) of Firm Theory. Second, this work provides a systematic way for classifying the existing DEA literature by offering a taxonomy. Finally, a theoretical contribution to the literature, Confident-DEA approach, is proposed involving a bilevel convex optimization model to which a Genetic-Algorithm-based solution method is suggested. Complementing previous DEA methodologies, which provides single valued efficiency measures, Confident-DEA provides a range of values for the efficiency measures, an efficiency confidence interval and hence the name, reflecting the imprecision in data. Monte-Carlo simulation is used to determine the distribution of the efficiency measures, taking into account the distribution of the bounded imprecise data over their corresponding intervals. Confident-DEA is applied to predict the efficiency of banking systems in OECD countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46883816931479,"sku":"9783639131017","price":6275.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639131017.webp?v=1770240918","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/data-envelopment-analysis-and-confident-dea-9783639131017","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
