CCR model
In the DEA methodology, formerly developed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) (CCR), efficiency is defined as a weighted sum of outputs to a weighted sum of inputs, where the weights structure is calculated by means of mathematical programming and constant returns to scale (CRS) are assumed.
