Abstract

Considering both self-evaluation and peer evaluation, the traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) cross-efficiency method has been widely used to evaluate efficiency scores. However, it has several defects such as excessive weight flexibility, unstable evaluation, and aggregation irrationality. This paper proposes a novel comprehensive DEA cross-efficiency method where two novel weight restriction methods are used to enhance the stability and feasibility of evaluation. Then, final efficiency scores were calculated through the geometric mean aggregation method. Finally, an empirical example is used to demonstrate that the proposed methods are more reasonable and scientific.
