A Simple Characterization of Returns to Scale in DEA

Description

In this paper, we will present a simple method for deciding the local returns-to-scale characteristics of DMUs (Decision Making Units) in Data Envelopment Analysis. This method proceeds as follows: first, we solve the BCC (Banker-Charnes-Cooper) model and find the returns-to-scale of BCC-efficient DMUs and a reference set to each BCC-inefficient DMU. We can then decide the local returns-to-scale characteristics of each BCC-inefficient DMU by observing only the returns-to-scale characteristics of DMUs in their respective reference sets. No extra computation is required. We can apply this method to the output oriented model and to the additive model as well.
