Abstract: The usefulness of Data Envelopment Analysis for empirically implementing the theory of performance frontiers and defining improvement paths towards higher performance is studied and illustrated on a network of microfinance institutions. It allows data-based prescriptive recommendations to overcome the issues of trade-offs between their financial and social activities and mission-drift.
