An evaluation of cross-efficiency methods: With an application to warehouse performance

作者:

Highlights:

• We compare the performance of a set of representative cross-efficiency methods.

• We study the concept of cross-efficiency from a productivity perspective.

• We apply these methods to a real-life data set and account for ordinal variables.

• Based on a multidimensional metric we rank the methods.

• Newly proposed more sophisticated methods do not outperform classic ones.
