Dear Taranom,

You can code and run data envelopment analysis in GAMS, R, Python, Stata, and other softwares.

Personally, I prefer GAMS and R.

Taranom Rostamian

Ehsan Khalili Thank you for your suggestion.

Jorge Ventura

Perhaps the problem is the version of Stata you want to install. You can also use R to perform your DEA analysis. There are other programs that are exclusively designed for this model, but they are paid and I haven't tried them. Also you can use frontier analysis that is no necesary install.

Jorge Ventura thanks for your help.
