Abstract

In the case of the proportional output reduction strategy with a single output, the Variable-Returns-to-Scale (VRS) Zero-Sum Gains Data Envelopment Analysis (ZSG-DEA) efficiency scores can be obtained from the VRS conventional DEA efficiency scores by means of the Target’s Assessment Theorem (TAT). Using TAT as a departure point, two relations for computing the ZSG-DEA efficiency scores appear in the literature. Our objective in this note is to compare, contrast and challenge them on both theoretical and empirical grounds. For the latter, three different data sets are used.
