Chapter Chapter 1 in Extension of Data Envelopment Analysis with Preference Information, 2015, pp 1-14 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Scarcity is one of the key concepts in economics. The fact that there are not enough resources to produce everything needed and wanted emphasizes the importance to utilize and allocate the existing ones in the best possible way. The demand for efficiency of operations both in private and public sectors has also been currently emphasized due to severe economic conditions and increased competition.
