In this paper, by improving the Golany and Yu's method, a new algorithm to estimate returns-to-scale in data envelopment analysis models is proposed. We show that the proposed algorithm overcomes existing disadvantages in the Golany and Yu's method, introduced for this purpose. The advantages of the new algorithm are illustrated.
