In the literature, many researchers study the performance of a production system with shared resources based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The extant models are based on the multiplier type models and resource allocation variables (RAVs) in some simple but instructive network settings such...

Molinero and Tsai (1997) proposed a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to evaluate a production entity that is characterized by shared inputs and shared outputs. They claimed that their proposed model has a convex solution space, and thus a convex program. This conclusion, if it were correct,...
