This article presents the super-efficiency model (SE-CCR), which is one of the most important modifications of the classic CCR model, and describes the main analytical capabilities of the SE-CCR model. Some of these capabilities are direct equivalents to the capabilities of the CCR model, e.g....

The author makes an attempt to assess the relative efficiency of Polish commercial banks using non-paramteric Data Envelopment Analysis. In the empirical research, use has been made of panel data – 24 commercial banks in 4 years (2001–2004). The results of sequential DEA method (which...

In the article, the author presents Data Envelopment Analysis, which is a method for measuring relative technical efficiency. The idea of DEA method is illustrated by a simple example, where objects characterized by one input and one output only are considered. Next, a the basic DEA model (CCR...

Classic DEA models (e.g., CCR or super-efficiency DEA) assume that inputs are complementary and there is no substitution of inputs. The lack of substitution is a result of using the same input multiplier for all inputs. The author indicates that there is a possibility of including the...

This article contains a method for classifying Data Envelopment Analysis models. Two main criteria i.e. orientation and returns to scale are used. These criteria enable distinguishing between oriented and non-oriented DEA models with constant and variable returns to scale. Basic properties of...
