2-PERSON RATIO EFFICIENCY GAMES

This paper demonstrates that a class of two-person games with ratio pa yoff functions can be solved using equivalent primal-dual linear progr amming formulations. The game's solution contains specialized informat ion which may be used to conduct the efficiency evaluation currently d one by the CCR ratio model of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Consequ ently, a rigorous connection between DEA's CCR model and the theory of games is established. Interpretations of these new solutions are disc ussed in the context of current ongoing applications.
