Abstract
This paper evaluates the efficiency of the Social Economy sector in Asturias, by applying the nonparametric method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) proposed by Charnes et al. (1978). For the elaboration of this study we used a sample of 397 Asturian cooperatives and labor societies for biennium 2004-2005. We calculate the measure of its performance by applying the DEA technique to a model of performance based on the account of operating income under output orientation, using the methodology of program efficiency proposed by Charnes et al. (1981). In a second stage of this research we evaluate the main factors determining the performance of these entities in the same period of analysis.Downloads
