摘要
Two different types of inputs (variable inputs and quasi-fixed inputs) are incorporated into an analytical framework of dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA). A unique feature of the quasi-inputs is that those are considered as outputs at the current period, while being treated as inputs at the next period. The dynamic DEA can measure interdependency among consecutive periods. This study incorporates the concept of returns to scale into the dynamic DEA. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
