Efficiency of zakat institutions in Malaysia: an application of data envelopment analysis

The aim of this paper is to measure the efficiency of zakat institutions in Malaysia during the period of 2003 to 2007. Using a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique, the results show that zakat institutions have exhibited mean technical efficiency of 80.6%. The results also suggest that pure te...
