Enhancing Top Efficiency by Minimizing Second-Best Scores: A Novel Perspective on Super Efficiency Models in DEA

In this paper, we reveal a new characterization of the super-efficiency model for Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In DEA, the efficiency of each decision making unit (DMU) is measured by the ratio the weighted sum of outputs divided by the weighted sum of inputs.In order to measure efficiency of a DMU, ${\rm DMU}_j$, say, in CCR … Read more
