Survey on rank preservation and rank reversal in data envelopment analysis

作者：

Highlights：

• We demonstrated the occurrence of rank reversal in different ranking models in DEA.

• Certain ranking methods are surveyed in DEA focusing on rank preservation and rank reversal phenomena.

• We discussed three other models in which the phenomenon does not occur when a copy of a DMU is added to the PPS.
