This objective has been expanded to include sensitivity analysis, outlier identification and inter-temporal analysis. However, not all units rated as efficient in conventional DEA models have feasible solutions in DEA super-efficiency models. We propose a new super-efficiency model that (a) generates the same super-efficiency scores as conventional super-efficiency models for all units having a feasible solution under the latter, and (b) generates a feasible solution for all units not having a feasible solution under the latter. Empirical examples are provided to compare the two super-efficiency models. rv:
