An application of categorical models of data envelopment analysis

This paper studies the efficiency of 127 selected towns in the Republic of Croatia using categorical models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The towns, represented as Decision Making Units (DMUs), are characterized into four categories according to their respective populations. Using the number of employed workers and employed assets as inputs and income as an output, we consider a categorical input-oriented (output-oriented) model with constant (variable) returns-to-scale. The paper presents and analyses computational results on efficiency of the towns.
