Abstract
This chapter introduced the concept of super-efficiency and presented two types of approach for measuring super-efficiency: radial and non-radial. Super-efficiency measures are widely utilized in DEA applications for many purposes, e.g., ranking efficient DMUs, evaluating the Malmquist productivity index and comparing performances of two groups (the bilateral comparisons model in Chapter 7).
