| Abstract: | In this paper, the authors highlight the importance of appropriately dealing with non-controllable inputs in technical efficiency evaluations by using DEA. In order to do this, the two most important options that exclusively use DEA methodology for the incorporation of these variables - the one-stage model by Banker and Morey and the three-stage method developed by Fried and Lovell - are compared both methodologically and empirically. At the same time, the authors propose a modification to the latter model which allows us to improve its results and interpretation. The education sector has been selected for the empirical application, the reason being that it has the desirable feature that, in the productive process, the students' socio-economic and family status has a direct influence on the school results. |
