On the redistribution of existing inputs using the spherical frontier dea model
The Spherical Frontier DEA Model (SFM) (Avellar et al., 2007) was developed to be used when one wants to fairly distribute a new and fixed input to a group of Decision Making Units (DMU's). SFM's basic idea is to distribute this new and fixed input in such a way that every DMU will be placed on an efficiency frontier with a spherical shape. We use SFM to analyze the problems that appear when one wants to redistribute an already existing input to a group of DMU's such that the total sum of this input will remain constant. We also analyze the case in which this total sum may vary.
