A comment on 'cost efficiency In data envelopment analysis with data uncertainty'

摘要

In a recent paper by Mostafaee and Saljooghi [Mostafaee, A., Saljooghi, F.H., 2010. Cost efficiency in data envelopment analysis with data uncertainty. European Journal of Operational Research, 202, 595-603], the authors extend the classical cost efficiency model to address data uncertainty. They claim that the upper bound of the cost efficiency can be obtained at extreme points when the input prices appear in the form of ranges. In this paper, we present our counterexamples and comments on the contention by Mostafaee and Saljooghi.
