Abstract. In this article, we introduce a user-written data envelopment analysis
command for Stata. Data envelopment analysis is a linear programming method
for assessing the efficiency and productivity of units called decision-making units.
Over the last decades, data envelopment analysis has gained considerable attention
as a managerial tool for measuring performance of organizations, and it has been
used widely for assessing the efficiency of public and private sectors such as banks,
airlines, hospitals, universities, defense firms, and manufacturers. The dea command
in Stata will allow users to conduct the standard optimization procedure and
extended managerial analysis. The dea command developed in this article selects
the chosen variables from a Stata data file and constructs a linear programming
model based on the selected dea options. Examples are given to illustrate how one
could use the code to measure the efficiency of decision-making units.
