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

Uncertain network data envelopment analysis with undesirable outputs to evaluate the efficiency of electricity power production and distribution processes
TL;DR: A customized network data envelopment analysis model is developed to evaluate the efficiency of electric power production and distribution processes and can be customized for application in similar systems such as water production-supply management, Oil and fuel production-distribution systems, and supply chains.

Target intermediate products setting in a two-stage system with fairness concern
TL;DR: In this article, a new DEA model taking account of fairness in the setting of the intermediate products is proposed, where the fairness is interpreted based on Nash bargaining game model, in which the two stages negotiate their target efficiencies in the two-stage system based on their individual efficiencies.

Partial Input to Output Impacts in DEA: Production Considerations and Resource Sharing among Business Subunits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the conventional DEA methodology to allow for the measurement of technical efficiency in situations where only partial input-to-output impacts exist, and view the DMU as a business unit, consisting of a set of mutually exclusive subunits.

Restricting weight flexibility in fuzzy two-stage DEA
TL;DR: This paper proposes a methodology for a fuzzy two-stage DEA model, where the weights are restricted in ranges and input-output data are treated as fuzzy numbers and the assurance region approach is utilized to restrict weight flexibility in the 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.
