| Tiivistelmä: | This paper begins with an introduction to the basic principles of data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a linear programming-based method for assessing the productive efficiencies of operating units such as bank branches, sales outlets, schools or individuals. This paper then goes on to describe the use of DEA in the regulatory framework. Regulation, employed to safeguard the public interest, is increasingly playing a major role in Great Britain and other countries in the aftermath of the privatisation of publicly owned companies including utilities which still enjoy a good degree of monopoly power. |
