Data Envelopment Analysis with Gams: A Handbook on Productivity Analysis and Performance Measurement

本書提供了對資料包絡分析（Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA）的全面且實用的介紹。它解釋了這種非參數技術如何用於衡量表現並從同質實體中提取效率，這些實體在生產過程中運作。書中將DEA置於一個不斷增長的生產力分析和績效測量領域中，該領域已提出了許多模型。

本書概括了文獻中提出的所有DEA模型的進展。這些模型在GAMS軟體的背景下呈現，GAMS是一個強大的數學規劃模型工具。本書有兩個教育目的：一是向讀者介紹DEA模型，二是提供使用GAMS的範例。此外，讀者還將接觸到GAMS編程，以及創新和實用的應用。GAMS代碼可免費獲得，讓讀者能夠測試和擴展模型以滿足其特定需求。

Konstantinos Petridis is Research Assistant in University of Macedonia. He holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, a M.Sc. in Logistics Management from Department of Economic Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki while his Ph.D. thesis was focused on Operational Research with application to natural resources. His research interests include the study and modeling of production and distribution of biomass and natural resources systems, supply chain management design and sustainability through the use of operational research and performance measurement techniques in healthcare and waste to energy plants. Dr Petridis' current works are focused on forest supply chain and production and distribution of forest products, and energy forms produced from biomass and fossil fuel co-firing. Moreover, one of the fields he is currently working on is the integration of several operational research techniques in an algorithmic way for ranking, forecasting, and decision making with multiple criteria (multi-objective programming). His educational interests are concentrated in optimization and simulation software emphasized in industrial production and planning and his research has been published in international journals and book chapters.
