One of the most complicated decision making problems for managers is the evaluation of bank performance, which involves various criteria. There are many studies about bank efficiency evaluation by network DEA in the literature review. These studies do not focus on multi-level network. Wu (Eur J Oper Res 207:856–864, 2010) proposed a bi-level structure for cost efficiency at the first time. In t...

Huge amounts of money are being invested in financial market. As a result, portfolio performance evaluation has created a great deal of interest among people. We kn...

Cross efficiency is a method with the idea of peer evaluation instead of self-evaluation, and is used for evaluation and ranking Decision Making Units (DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Unlike most existing DEA ranking models which can only rank a subset of DMUs, for example non-efficient or extreme efficient DMUs, cross efficiency can rank all DMUs, even non-extreme ones. However, sinc...
