This book introduces readers to benchmarking techniques in the
stochastic environment, primarily stochastic data envelopment
analysis (DEA), and provides stochastic models in DEA for the
possibility of variations in inputs and outputs. It focuses on the
application of theories and interpretations of the mathematical
programs, which are combined with economic and organizational
thinking. The book's main purpose is to shed light on the
advantages of the different methods in deterministic and stochastic
environments and thoroughly prepare readers to properly use these
methods in various cases. Simple examples, along with graphical
illustrations and real-world applications in industry, are provided
for a better understanding. The models introduced here can be
easily used in both theoretical and real-world evaluations. This
book is intended for graduate and PhD students, advanced
consultants, and practitioners with an interest in quantitative
performance evaluation.

This book examines, using DEA, the productivity performance trends
of the Indian commercial banks for the post transition period: 1997
- 2001. Our broad empirical findings are indicative in many ways.
First, the increasing average annual trends in technical efficiency
for all ownership groups indicate an affirmative gesture about the
effect of the reform process on the performance of the Indian
banking sector. Second, the higher cost efficiency accrual of
private banks over nationalized banks indicate that nationalized
banks, though old, do not reflect their learning experience in
their cost minimizing behavior due to inefficiency factors arising
from government ownership. This finding also highlights the
possible stronger disciplining role played by the capital market
indicating a strong link between market for corporate control and
efficiency of private enterprise assumed by property right
hypothesis. And, finally, concerning the scale elasticity behavior,
the technology and market-based results differ significantly
supporting the empirical distinction between returns to scale and
economies of scale, often used interchangeably in the literature.
