Analysis of the impact of DMUs on the overall efficiency in the event of a merger
作者：
Highlights：
• We analyse the impact of DMUs on overall efficiency in the event of a merger.
• Under merging, an artificial DMU arises with the sum of inputs and outputs of its members.
• The organization of DMUs outside a merger also influences its relative efficiency.
• We use results on partition function form games for full ranking of the DMUs.
• Sampling techniques are used to solve the computational drawbacks in these settings.
