In a recent paper by Chen, he deals with the infeasibility of super-efficiency DEA models in variable returns to scale (VRS) technology. He provides a necessary and sufficient condition for simultaneous infeasibility of input- and output-oriented super-efficiency DEA models in VRS case, then he claims that both of these models are infeasible only for a rare situation. In this paper, we present some counterexamples and comments to the contention by Chen.
