Abstract: The standard data envelopment analysis model aimed to maximize the efficiency scores using the most favourable input/output weights. In two-stage network structures, the presence of intermediate undesirable measures leads to a distinct domain of weight restriction study. In the presence of undesirable intermediate measures and equipped with non-cooperative game theory, this study developes a joint weight restriction approach to derive a common set of weights. Concurrently, the overall efficiency of the system can be evaluated. Numerical instances of 34 OECD countries in 2012 have been presented to elucidate the details and applicability of the proposed method.
