Abstract :

The stock evaluation process plays an important role in portfolio selectionbecause it is the prerequisite for investment and directly influences on the stockallocation. This paper presents a methodology based on Data EnvelopmentAnalysis for portfolio selection, decision making units which can be stocks orother financial assets. First, DMUs efficiencies are computed based oninput/output common weights, and then the generation of a portfolio is carried outby a mathematical model. Finally the methodology is illustrated numerically onthe market of Iran stock exchange.
