Abstract
This note provides a complete implementation of the original Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes data envelopment analysis model. For this purpose th e algebraic modeling language AMPL is used, software for which, packag ed with the LP solvers CPLEX and MINOS, is readily available. Because AMPL is such a high-level language, with a syntax matching very closel y that of the algebraic, symbolic representation of a linear programmi ng model, the interested reader should be able to adapt the given impl ementation to any other data envelopment analysis model variant.
