Network DEA

Most traditional DEA models treat their reference technologies as black boxes. Our network models, developed for the Swedish Institute for Health Economics (IHE), allow us to look into these boxes and to evaluate organizational performance and its component performance. The very general structure of the network model allows us to apply this model to a variety of situations: intermediate products, allocation of budgets or ®xed factors and certain (time separable) dynamic systems. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
