abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Data envelopment analysis (DEA), as originally proposed, is a methodology for evaluating
the relative efficiencies of peer decision making units (DMUs) under some general assumptions.
DEA models with non-homogeneous DMUs and multi-activity structures are two different
subjects referring to relaxing various assumptions. In this paper, we show that these two formulations
are both derived by embedding the corresponding process into a general parallel DEA model.
Furthermore, following the parallel DEA framework, general DEA models for multi-activity and
non-homogeneity are proposed, which are able to handle many situations where different aspects
of non-homogeneity or multi-activities exist. This study provides important insights into the
existing DEA models for non-homogeneity and multi-activity.</p>},
