ملخص المقالة :
Cross-efficiency is a frequently used method for ranking decision-making units in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). A fundamental weakness of this method which has been quite problematic is the presence of multiple optimal weights along with selection of zero values by many of these multiple weights in calculating cross-efficiency. In the current paper it is tried to provide a method which through utilizing fair distribution of weights resolve the mentioned problems and in this way give more validity to the cross-efficiency method in raking decision-making units.
