Abstract
The cross-efficiency method is generally utilized to rank decision-making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) based on peer-evaluation logic. This brief note provides a method of using the available information from the linear program outputs to calculate the ranking of all DMUs with fewer computations and offers an alternative interpretation to the cross-efficiency method based on slack analysis in DEA.
