INTERACT WITH CONTENT FROM THE BOOK.

This app explores models and data presented in 'Measuring Productivity in Education and Not-for-Profits'. It allows you to adjust model parameters, tweak input data, and test results in real time. The app is best viewed on a computer screen or in landscape mode. The simulations here emphasise how sensitive education and NFP performance metrics can be to different treatments of the data and reinforce the care required in conducting analysis.

The app focuses on the DEA model from Chapters 6 & 7 of the book. You can test model sensitivities and explore the full range of results covered in the chapter. The DEA analysis contains three tabs. The first tab allows you to experiment with the data to generate different DEA base results. The second tab lets you see how the base results serve to emphasise different variables for each organisation. The third tab lets you compare alternative production frontiers based on the different benchmarking criteria produced by the DEA algorithm.
