TLDR
In this article, the authors present a review of data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods for peer decision-making units (DMUs) and show that all the existing approaches can be categorized as using either Stackelberg (leader-follower) or cooperative game concepts.Abstract:
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs). An important area of development in recent years has been devoted to applications wherein DMUs represent two-stage or network processes. One particular subset of such processes is those in which all the outputs from the first stage are the only inputs to the second stage. The current paper reviews these models and establishes relations among various approaches. We show that all the existing approaches can be categorized as using either Stackelberg (leader-follower), or cooperative game concepts. Future perspectives and challenges are discussed.read more

Decomposing technical efficiency and scale elasticity in two-stage network DEA
TL;DR: Two approaches are suggested in this contribution, based on the premise concerning whether a network technology construct considers allocative inefficiency, which makes use of a single network technology for two interdependent sub-technologies and assumes complete allocative efficiency by considering two independent sub-technology frontiers.

Performance evaluation of participating nations at the 2012 London Summer Olympics by a two-stage data envelopment analysis
TL;DR: The efficiency of each participating nation in the entire two-stage Olympic process is calculated as a product of the efficiencies of both stages, and a heuristic search is applied to the extended relational model.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.
