The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficiency measurement model by enhancing a CCR (Charnes–Cooper–Rhodes) model and then to prove that the enhanced model satisfies five desirable properties: indication, strict monotonicity, homogeneity, continuity and units unvariance. In order for our model to be empirically tractable, we also provide an algorithm aimed at estimating efficiency scores.
