Problems of using grouped DMUs for efficiency measurement: Monte Carlo experiments, empirical dimension, and a correction procedure
Brümmer, Bernhard; Thiele, Holger D. - 1999
This paper explores the consequences for parametric and non-parametric efficiency levels and rankings when using grouped instead of individual Decision Making Units (DMU). The bias results due to the differences of the grouped DMUs frontier compared to the individual DMUs frontier. Monte Carlo...
