In recent years there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications related
to theory and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Charnes, Cooper, and …

This article reviews the estimation of Returns To Scale (RTS) in Data Envelopment Analysis
(DEA), presented by Golany and Yu and proposes a new method to do this estimation. we …

This study reviews the concept of the “right” and the “left” returns to scale (RTS) in data
envelopment analysis (DEA), and a dual simplex-based method, for determining these two …

The economic concept of Returns-to-Scale (RTS) has been intensively studied in the context
of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The conventional DEA models that are used for RTS …

This paper concerns the shared cost allocation problem by using Data Envelopment
Analysis (DEA), which is observed in practical applications such as public services and …

This paper deals with the estimation of returns to scale (RTS) in free disposal hull (FDH)
models and provides some stability intervals for preserving the RTS classification. It has …

One class of models introduced in DEA is called multiplicative models, in which, as shown
by Banker and Maindiratta (Manag. Sci. 32: 126–135, 1986), the piecewise linear frontiers …

This study identifies types and values of right and left returns to scales (RTSs) of efficient
decision making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). In this research, we first …

This paper provides computationally efficient approaches for determining to which returns to
scale (RTS) class a unit belongs in weight-restricted Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) …

The concept of Returns to scale is an important topic in data envelopment analysis since it
identifies whether the expansion or contraction of the unit under assessment is beneficial …
