Abstract
An application of data envelopment analysis (DEA) for measuring and ev aluating the operating efficiency of power plants in the Israeli Elect ric Corporation (IEC) is presented. Emphasis is placed on the process of screening the list of potential input and output factors and determ ining the most relevant ones. Special attention is given to the qualit ative factor concerning air pollution, which is here treated as a cate gorical variable. The incorporation of 'standard data' is examined and the results are analyzed.
