Abstract:

A concept that has sparked considerable interest in DEA is that of returns to scale (RTS). One of the basic and useful definitions of RTS in DEA models is based upon the PPS. In this work, a discussion about the PPS‐based definition of RTS is given, leading to a modified definition of RTS which is suitable in the presence of multiple supporting hyperplanes passing through the unit under assessment. The definition provided is a simplification of a definition given by Tone.
