Abstract

This paper extends fundamental results on metric sensitivity in Data Envelopment Analysis. Specifically, it shows how to obtain a larger radius of stability for a decision-making unit (DMU) by exploiting knowledge about its variability, and how to enlarge a DMU's region of stability to a nonsymmetric hyperbox.
