Abstract

Data envelopment analysis is a linear programming model for estimating the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). Data envelopment analysis model has two major advantages: it does not need the explicit form of production function for estimating the efficiency scores of decision making units and also, it allows decision making units to choose the weights of inputs and outputs to reach the estimated efficient frontier. In several cases, the distinguish power of data envelopment analysis model is weak and it is unable to rank decision making units, entirely. The goal of this study is to provide a better methodology to fully rank all the decision making units. First, the efficiency scores of all decision making units are generated using the cross-efficiency data envelopment analysis model and then, the cooperative game theory approach is applied to produce a fully fair ranking of decision making units. The DEA-Game model calculates the Shapley value for each coalition of decision making units and the final ranking is relied on common weights. These fair common weights are found using the Shapley value to rank decision making units, completely. To illustrate the capability of the proposed model, the industrial producers in the provinces of Iran are evaluated. First, the suitable indicators are defined and then, the actual environmental data for year 2013 is gathered. Finally, the proposed model is applied to fully rank the industrial producers in provinces of Iran from environmental perspective. The results show that the DEA-Game model can rank provinces, entirely. Based on the results, the industrial producers in big provinces such as Tehran, Fars and Yazd have undesirable performance in environmental efficiency.
