We reconsider the motivation of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the non-parametric technique that is widely employed … conventional engineering motivation of DEA can be problematic since it often builds on unverifiable production axioms. We then … provide a dual viewpoint and highlight the ‘behavioral’ interpretation of DEA models. We start from a specification of the …
