“…DEA has been mainly used in the production and service context so that DMUs are assumed to represent homogeneous operating units that consume inputs and produce outputs. However DEA can also be used to benchmark the performance of countries in the Summer Olympics (Lozano et al, 2002), human development index of countries (Lozano & Gutiérrez, 2008), eco-efficiency of products (Lozano et al, 2011), forest fire fighting (Gutiérrez & Lozano, 2013), F1 constructors (Gutiérrez & Lozano, 2014), NBA teams (e.g. Moreno & Lozano, 2014), team performance in a business game (Koltai et al, 2017), public finances (Moreno & Lozano, 2018), current account balance of payments of countries (Gutiérrez & Lozano, 2020a), F1 circuits (Gutiérrez & Lozano, 2020b), and many other types of entities not related to the classical production process context.…”
