Abstract
- In order to break the tie of efficient decision-making units, super-efficiency data envelopment analysis is proposed to fully discriminate them. Recently, a slacks-based version of the super slacks-based measure (S-SBM) is developed and a novel two-stage approach is proposed to calculate both super-efficiency score by the S-SBM model and efficiency score by the slacks-based measure model. In this paper, we extend the approach to consider continuity of efficiency scores. We illustrate the discontinuity of efficiency measure, and define a continuous slacks-based measure which is proved continuous and directly calculated. An interesting efficiency zone category is also provided. In addition, this paper investigates the relationship among the super-efficiency measures of the proposed approach and some existing approaches under variable returns to scale.
