Restricting virtual weights in data envelopment analysis

Article Abstract:

The uses of virtual weight restrictions in data envelopment analysis are examined. The reasons for preferring virtual weight restrictions over absolute weight restrictions in some of the instances are discussed. It is concluded that different approaches to weights restrictions are required to capture particular preference information and virtual weights restrictions play an important role in this field.
