Abstract

One of the topics of interest in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is sensitivity and stability and stability analysis of the specific decision making unit (DMU), which is under evaluation. In DEA, efficient DMUs are of primary importance as they define the efficient frontier. In this paper, we develop a new sensitivity analysis approach for the CCR, BCC and Additive models, when variations in the data are considered for a specific efficient DMU and the data for the remaining DMUs are assumed fixed.
