Abstract: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology that is widely used in business to measure efficiency and performance. The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overview of its areas of use and the most important methodological enhancements. The extensive literature on DEA will be reviewed with the help of previously published literature reviews. The main applications of DEA are identified as healthcare, banking and insurance, higher education and the human sphere, transportation and supply chain management, sustainability, and energy policy. The reviews mainly address service applications for benchmarking efficiency - manufacturing was not addressed. The DEA-related methodological developments were ranking, managing data status, weight and input/output selection, and network and dynamic extensions. The management literature makes much use of the DEA method for decision support and performance measurement.
