Contenu du cours

The course is divided in two main chapters. First, performances of DMUs are analyzed through a decomposition of profit change into quantity and price effects. We present a general methodology based on productivity literature in economics to measure the economic value creation and its distribution among stakeholders. Second, benchmarking methods are introduced. Productive performance can be measured with a variety of econometric and mathematical techniques. We will focus our attention on one family of them called “Data Envelopment Analysis” (DEA) and based on linear programming.
