Abstract

This paper considers an algorithmic approach to sensitivity in Data Envelopment Analysis for the CCR and Additive models. Specifically, it gives sufficient conditions that preserve the efficiency of a decision-making unit (DMU) under arbitrary perturbations of the inputs and/or outputs of the DMUs. The paper illustrates the results for the Additive model.
