This paper develops a slack-based decomposition of profit efficiency based on a direc- tional distance function. It complements Cooper, Pastor, Aparicio and Borras (2011).

In this article we revisit a recent work on on pricing DMUs by Fare, Grosskopf and Margaritis (2012) and extend it to allow for non-constant retuns to scale technologies.
