Abstract: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed in an analysis of the US metropolitan areas in an effort to use the information about the inputs to diagnose economic development problems of specific urban regions. The results are presented for the aggregate of all MSAs and also for partial analyses by MSA size (small, medium, and large). Example analyses at the individual MSA level are provided to illustrate how the DEA approach may provide useful carefully targeted policy and management guidance for regions.
