Abstract

This paper argues that for evaluating efficiency in the economic sense of an organization (any DMU, in the Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) terminology), the notion of frontier is less basic than the one of dominance. In Section 2, three different ways to define this concept are proposed: pairwise E-dominance, setwise E-dominance and global E-dominance. In Section 3, numerical measurement methods are proposed for each. Properties of EDA are highlighted and contrasted with the frontier methodology in the concluding Section 4.
