Two Perspectives on DEA: Unveiling the Link between CCR and Shephard

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2002, vol. 17, issue 1, 47 pages

Abstract: In this paper we contrast the DEA and activity analysis approaches by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) and Shephard (1970), respectively. We show that by appropriately normalizing Shephard's output price model the two approaches coincide. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2002
