Modeling Blank Data Entries in Data Envelopment Analysis

Kuosmanen, Timo - EconWPA - 2002

We show how Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) can handle missing data. When blank data entries are coded by appropriate … dummy values, the DEA model automatically excludes the missing data from the analysis. We extend this result to weight …-restricted DEA models by presenting a simple modification to the usual weight restrictions, which automatically relaxes the weight …
