Autorenporträt

KAORU TONE is with the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Japan. His contribution to DEA has a variety of attainments. He authored a classical book Data Envelopment Analysis: A Comprehensive Text with Models, Applications, References and DEA-Solver Software under the co-authorship with Professor Cooper (University of Texas) and Professor Seiford (University of Michigan). He also published many papers on DEA in international journals. Kaoru Tone opened a new avenue for performance evaluation, called Slacks-based Measure (SBM) that is widely utilized over the world. His recent innovations include Network SBM, Dynamic SBM, Dynamic DEA with Network Structure, Congestion, Returns-to-growth in DEA, Ownership-specified Network DEA, Non-convex Frontier DEA, Past-Present-Future Inter-temporal DEA, Resampling DEA and SBM-Max.
