Balance Measurement Methods in Data Envelopment Analysis

Concept, Models and Applications

The efficiency score is defined as the ratio of the weighted sum of outputs to the weighted sum of inputs. Input and output weights are not a priori specified but determined model endogenously. Consequently each DMU is free…
