| Abstract: | The purpose of this note is to define a new and more general method to obtain qualitative information about returns to scale for individual observations. The traditional methods developed for estimating returns to scale on non-parametric deterministic reference technologies (Data Envelopment Analysis) models is reviewed. A new and more general method that is suitable for all reference technologies is provided. Its usefulness is illustrated by considering variation on an existing non-convex production model, known as the Free Disposal Hull (FDH). |
