Returns to scale in decision-making units with integer-valued or mixed inputs and integer-valued or real outputs using radial models in data envelopment analysis by Zeinab Tavassoli, Mohsen Rostami-MalKhalifeh, Farhad Hosseinzadeh Lotfi, Tofigh allahVieanloo

“…Purpose: The current paper tries to determine the type of returns to scale in a decision-making unit under the condition that integer-valued inputs or outputs are present.Methodology: This paper introduces radial models for determining the value and type of Returns to Scale (RTS) in 4 scenarios, including single integer-valued input – single real output (scenario one), mixed inputs – exclusively real outputs (scenario two), exclusively integer-valued inputs – exclusively real outputs (scenario three), and exclusively integer-valued inputs – exclusively integer-valued outputs (scenario four); in each scenario, the values of the left RTS and right RTS are determined, and the RTS type is then determined on that basis. …”
