Identifying Suspicious Efficient Units in DEA Models
Krivonozhko, Vladimir E.; Førsund, Finn R.; Lychev, … - Økonomisk institutt, Universitetet i Oslo - 2012
Applications of the DEA models show that inadequate results may arise in some cases, two of these inadequacies being: a) too many efficient units may appear in some DEA models; b) a DEA model may show an inefficient unit from the point of view of experts as an efficient one. The purpose of this...

Measurement of Returns to Scale Using Non-Radial DEA Models
Krivonozhko, Vladimir E.; Førsund, Finn R.; Lychev, … - Økonomisk institutt, Universitetet i Oslo - 2012
There are some specific features of the non-radial DEA (data envelopment analysis) models which cause some problems under the returns to scale measurement. In the scientific literature on DEA, some methods were suggested to deal with the returns to scale measurement in the non-radial DEA models....
