Lecturer

Prof. Martin Dlouhý (Prague University of Economics and Business)

Program

1. Performance and efficiency evaluation methods. Ratio analysis, data envelopment analysis (DEA), and stochastic frontier analysis.
2. Foundations of DEA as a non-parametric method of performance and efficiency evaluation that is able to deal with multiple inputs and outputs. Input- and output-oriented models, returns to scale, bad outputs.
3. Non-homogeneity of production units and external environment.Models and procedures dealing with non-homogeneity.
4. Efficiency evaluation in network and hierarchical structures.
5. Production frontiers in case of technological development in time (panel data).
6. Computational aspects of DEA.
