Multiplier adjustment in data envelopment analysis

V Congreso de Eficiencia y Productividad EFIUCO, Córdoba, 19-20 Mayo 2011.

Weights restriction is a well-known technique in the DEA field. When those techniques are applied, weights cluster around its new limits, making its evaluation dependent of its levels. This paper introduces a new approach to weights adjustment by Goal Programming techniques, avoiding the imposition of hard restrictions that can even lead to unfeasibility. This method results in models that are more flexible.
