Abstract :
This paper proposes a new approach for determining efficient DMUs in DEA models using inverse optimi-zation and without solving any LPs. It is shown that how a two-phase algorithm can be applied to detect effi-cient DMUs. It is important to compare computational performance of solving the simultaneous linear equa-tions with that of the LP, when computational issues and complexity analysis are at focus.
