By-Production Technology DEA/Evidence
Method evidence record

By-Production Technology DEA

By-Production Technology DEA is a variant of Data Envelopment Analysis designed for production systems that generate both desirable outputs and undesirable by-products or emissions. Rather than ignoring or arbitrarily penalizing undesirable outputs, this method explicitly models them as joint products of the production process. It evaluates efficiency while accounting for the trade-off between desired production and environmental impact.
