The problem of infeasibility arises in conventional radial super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) models … under variable returns to scale (VRS). To tackle this issue, a Nerlove–Luenberger (N–L) measure of super-efficiency is … developed based on a directional distance function. Although this N–L super-efficiency model does not suffer infeasibility …
