When benchmarking production units by non-parametric methods like data envelopment analysis (DEA), an assumption has to … frontiers across samples of producers. Until now, no exact tests for examining returns to scale assumptions in DEA, or for test … test for the hypothesis of constant returns to scale in DEA. The others are tests for general frontier differences and …

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 … concept of a terminal unit is introduced for such units. A method for improving the adequacy of DEA models based on terminal …

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 … adequacy of DEA models based on terminal units is suggested, and an example shown based on a real-life data set for Russian …

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.
