  • Abstract
    Data envelopment analysis (DEA) inherently assumes that the feasible targets for inputs and outputs are continuous. This paper develops and illustrates extensions to DEA that allow for integer valued inputs and outputs. It is found that DEA´s implicit assumption of continuous targets can be significant in certain applications
