Ranking efficient DMUs using cooperative game theory

作者:

Highlights:

• We address the problem of ranking efficient DMUs in Data Envelopment Analysis.

• We rely on cooperative game theory in order to design a ranking.

• A game represents the increase in discriminant power when efficient DMUs are added.

• The Shapley value is adopted as the solution for this game.

• Proposal illustrated on datasets of the literature and compared with other methods.
