Abstract
MEZA, Lidia Angulo; MELLO, João Carlos Correia Baptista Soares de; GOMES JUNIOR, Silvio Figueiredo and MORENO, Plácido. Evaluation of post-graduate programs using a network data envelopment analysis model. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2018, vol.85, n.204, pp.83-90.

Despite standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models having been widely used in assessing efficiency in education, a few studies use Network DEA (NDEA) models in educational evaluation. In this paper, we proposed an alternative to the official evaluation performed every three years by CAPES (Brazilian agency for post-graduation programs regulation) using an NDEA model. The use of NDEA is justified because depending on the point of view, some variables can be considered either inputs or outputs. The use of NDEA avoids the need to decide whether a variable is an input or output of the entire process. This happens because a variable can be both an output for one stage and an input for another. Our relational NDEA model computes both productivity and quality assessments together with global efficiency using bibliometric data.
