摘要
This review introduces the history and present status of data envelopment analysis (DEA) research, particularly the evaluation process. And extensions of some DEA models are also described. It is pointed out thatmathematics, economics and management science are themain forces in the DEA development, optimization provides the fundamental method for the DEA research, and the wide range of applications enforces the rapid development ofDEA.
