Comparison of the Relative Efficiencies by the Data Envelopment Analysis: An Application in Turkey for the Provinces of Cultural Indicators
Abstract :
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method based on linear programming. DEA aims to measure relative efficiencies of decision making units (DMU) that produces same sort of outputs by using similar inputs. DEA has a wide range of application in the both private and public sector. The purpose of this study is to evaluate relative efficiencies of provinces’ cultural economies by cultural indicators of provinces in Turkey. In this context, 10 of the cultural indicators were selected as input variables and six of them were selected as output variables from TUIK data sources. According to result of analysis, effective and non-effective provinces were determined and possible suggestions were discussed to improve local cultural economies.
