Window Data Envelopment Analysis

Window Data Envelopment Analysis (Window DEA) is a non-parametric panel efficiency method that evaluates decision-making units (DMUs) over time by embedding each DMU's observations across a rolling temporal window into a single cross-sectional DEA problem. Introduced by Charnes, Clark, Cooper, and Golany in 1984, it enables longitudinal efficiency tracking without requiring a full panel, increasing discriminatory power by pooling observations across consecutive periods.
