Abstract:

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method based on linear programming. DEA is a technique based on mathematical programming that is capable of measuring relative efficiency of making decision units by processing multiple input and output. In this study, at first mathematical structure of data envelopment analysis, practice process, Charnes Cooper Rhodes model (CCR) and Banker Charnes Cooper model (BCC), the most widely used model in the analysis, were introduced. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiencies of provinces' health, education, economy and banking in the fields by socio-economic indicators of the provinces in Turkey. Data Envelopment Analysis method was used to measure the efficiency of 81 provinces whose data is applicable to the analysis. In this analysis, output-oriented CCR models were used in health, education and banking business. The output-oriented BCC model was used in the field of economy. To solve models, EMS (Efficiency Measurement System) program, which is used with the program of Data Envelopment Analysis, was used. As a result of the study, the efficient provinces have been found and the reference values are determined for the inefficient provinces. Health, education, economy and banking efficiencies of the provinces are shown in the charts
