Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 會計與資訊科技研究所 === 91 === Abstract The attempt of the thesis is to evaluate the relative efficiency by the applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and provide every court to improve its efficiency. The research is aimed at civil and criminal cases in the eighteen district courts, Judicial Yuan, and selects relevant information and invested resources from eight fiscal years, during 1994 to 2001 and estimates the performance evaluation by DEA method. The research steps are as follows. First, sifting all input and output variables related performance on handling a case, by records discussing and interviewing with professionals, for information collection and model designing. Besides, carrying statistic and analysis out with the selected variables, and taking performance evaluation, analysis and interpretation by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Slack Variable Analysis and Malmquist Index. With regard to data analyzing, adopting Mann-Whitney U to inspect the difference between different groups and periods. The results of the thesis are as follows: (ⅰ) As the result from efficiency analyzing, a three-fourths district courts are in the situation of decreasing return to scale. It appears that the main reason of efficiency difference is scale dispose improperly. The suggestion to conform to efficiency is to consider reducing scale. (ⅱ)Around the years when "The Principal Points on Achievements Examination of Judge Handle Cases" is abolished, there is no obvious difference about efficiency. It tell us that to avoid The Principal Points mentioned above makes no difference about courts'' aggregate efficiency. (ⅲ) According to urbanization difference, there are five groups, metropolitan courts, urban courts, rural courts, eastern courts, courts in a remote island. After analyzing, there are obvious variations between the technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency and the courts in a remote island are the highest one and the metropolitan courts is the lowest one. The urbanization level influences the efficiency and performance of courts deeply. The reasons are worth of to be reviewed and improved. The suggestion herewith is that all courts may find out the right way to improve efficiency by consulting the thesis. Besides, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) authorized organization may adopt Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a tool for performance evaluation. It will assure to apply all resources efficiently and achieve the result of handling cases.
