An Eco-Inefficiency Dominance Probability Approach for Chinese Banking Operations Based on Data Envelopment Analysis by Feng Li, Lunwen Wu, Qingyuan Zhu, Yanling Yu, Gang Kou, Yi Liao

“…Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has proven to be a powerful technique for assessing the relative performance of a set of homogeneous decision-making units (DMUs). A critical feature of conventional DEA approaches is that only one or several sets of optimal virtual weights (or multipliers) are used to aggregate the ratio performance efficiencies, and thus, the efficiency scores might be too extreme or even unrealistic. …”
