ANÁLISE ENVOLTÓRIA DE DADOS (DEA): UMA PROPOSTA PARA AVALIAÇÃO DE DESEMPENHO DE UNIDADES ACADÊMICAS DE UMA UNIVERSIDADE

Abstract

This paper presents an application of Data Envelopment Analysis to evaluate university units. The technique analyzes the productivity (or efficiency) of Decision Making Units based on best practices. DEA results indicate variables classifications and points that must be improved. We have applied it in seven financial variables, including four input and three output variables to 20 university units. Results have allowed us to classify them in three groups by degree of efficiency. Units group with low efficiency have presented values that each variable should achieve, as well as colleges efficient that may serve as a benchmark.
